Hurricane Sandy (LIVE POST)

I'm sure that the world is knowledgeable of Hurricane Sandy.

I didn't know it was coming until yesterday!

I saw posts from my Facebook friends, stating that there'll be hurricanes and stuff like that.

I thought it was

some kinda joke, or maybe just a sentence from a movie.

but.... WHAT?

you serious this time?

yep, drop down serious.

Oh wow so the date stated above is 25th Oct 2012 and today is the 29th.

How come I'm so behind all these?!

I have to read the news more often then.. (x___x)

For the very first time, ever since I landed in Toronto about 4 years ago,

hurricane....hurricane.....hurricane.

I saw it on news, in the movies but had no idea that I'll be facing "part of it" someday.

Interesting, in some way

Can you imagine how scary it is?

The hurricane went past the carribean islands. Now travelling all the way up North.

Went past New Jersey and now on it's way to New York I suppose?

I'm currently watching a LIVE show filming in New York.

ANYWAY.............

My experience today was...

To be honest I had been holding my fear in my heart since yesterday night. Or was it the caffeine from food which made me couldn't sleep well? It's like I barely had a deep sleep. 

It rained since yesterday night and it continued raining today. 

Got to work with a wet slumpy hair & face, got off work with the same look. 

The most TERRIBLE thing is the strong wind coming from everywhere. 

It felt like when you open your freezer and there's this sudden rush of icy air with smoke effects?
Yah, that kinda cold.

Anyhow, it wasn't that bad when I got off work(subway train). LUCKY.

BUT, on the way home in my car (I had to switch rides), the wind got much stronger.

Just had to run to supermarkets to stock up food, water and kits.

I wasn't aware of this AT ALL til today. 

UNLUCKY part, most of the items were SOLD OUT. Serious like a banana. 

I guess supermarkets and convenient stores are making loads of money from this.

Went to almost 5 different places, well..maybe not that many.. EXAGGERATION wins!

But still, most of the items I wanted, SOLD OUT. I felt like they should restock for the sake of our safety. For the sake that we-are-willing-to-spent-to-be-SAFE policy.

Got home around 8.30pm. Wind got even STRONGER.

It started to rain. You know how all of a sudden it just feels so quiet? Squirrels and birds were no longer to be found mingling on trees? 

That's when you know something really SERIOUS is about to happen.

Good thing I'm under my roof and able to blog for abit.
I might update with a few blog posts about this. With a few photos is possible. 

Just saying "if". Keep your hopes low okie. LOL~

MAIN POINT

Right, so the hurricane is assuming to take about 5 working days to travel all the way up.

It's going to pass by Toronto. However not all of Toronto is going to get effected.
It was stated on the map that the spot that I'm staying currently, is somewhat effected; a little bit more than the other parts of Toronto. 

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Let me say this. You should calm down in whatever situations. Be ready.
You might not know what's coming. Well, I know you know Sandy's coming but I'm talking about the effects Sandy's gonna bring. 

Get juice. Extra liquid to keep your thirst. Maybe there's a shortage of water?

Candles torch lights wood pencil -whatever things to make fire & heat. It's winter, literally. So don't put yourself into a situation where you want to be a dried frozen pork.

Have extra food. Food as in canned, preserved, vacuum, however that is. Raw meat ain't gonna give you a yummy meal. Unless we're talking about sashimi...hmmmm~

take really good care of yourself, keep the things which are important to you

and lastly, stick together with the people you LOVE!

Yes just that moment, treasure it like..you know..in the movies!

I might be exaggerating but you know, this might be a good lesson for people who doesn't usually treasure people around them. Or for some, be serious for once?

Actually, just READ HERE for the real safety precautions

If electricity runs out, 

Do not forget to come back to my blog when the electricity comes back.

Good Luck & God Bless

I hope everything will be fine

teeehee~
