I heard wind gusts up to 70 mph so that would explain the concern

Now I’m scared. I have no generator 😑

Our school system starts vacation tomorrow....

Me neither lol

In rural areas, wind and ice can mean widespread power outages. Being the last day for a lot of districts it was going to be a movie day anyway so hell with it, not worth the risk.

Get ya milk and bread you’ll be ok 👍

pretty much. the last day before xmas break was watching some kind of holiday movie and singing "jingle bells" and shit when I was a kid.

No it's gunna be totally fine (please panic after I get my regularly scheduled shopping done) /s

😹

Idk, I decided to finish my shopping today though in case it really seems unsafe. I do have one client to visit tomorrow and I am assuming I will be able to.

Wind is a concern.

Quick!! Get the bread and milk!!!

Thank goodness I built a few windmills recently to generate electricity.

The thing is, after the storm, we're looking at zero degree wind chills. Without power, that's brutal.

And flooding. I'm going to work from home tomorrow, don't want to get stuck if 195 is closed again. Was lucky to just miss it last time.

The couple teachers and staff at my daughter's school I talked to said it was a concern of losing power due to the wind.

Cumberland closed schools because if someone breathes on the power lines the wrong way the town loses power. Expected gusts will definitely cause some outages there.

Charge everything tonight, make sure you have batteries/candles for light. It’ll be okay, it’s not too cold out.

get ya milk and ya bread and keep the cah inside!

Storm French toast for everybody

Media creating a frenzy as per usual.

I feel like the roads are gonna be fucked with trees and there will be power outages throughout the day... hopefully not overnight.

My schools back in VA always scheduled the day before break as a half day and just did shit in the auditorium or movie day in the classrooms since half the kids werent showing up anyways.

Right? A cat 1 hurricane has sustained wind of like 70-90 mph. Ppl go surfing in that. Can’t wait for the first 1-2 inches of snow so nor’easter bob can shut us down for dayz. #lifeisscary

60 knot wind gusts will do some damage to trees. Stay off the back roads if you can.

Gonna be fine , teachers just like more time off… like when they all wanted to work from home after covid. Tough working 180 days a year.

Just a guess… When there are high winds in rural school districts, trees fall and roads become impassable… Buses can’t complete their routes… Karen’s freak out and call the schools to complain.

Last time we had Tropical storm Irene in 2011, the majority of the state was without power for days. 70mph winds is an issue, especially with the plummeting temp drop that came with. #okboomer

Wind of 20-30 mph (with reported gusts of up to 50/60) & rain. Far cry from a hurricane. I’m sry, is the state destroyed yet?!? #keeplivinginfear

And guess what TS Irene had? Gusts to 60. #shutup

1- #no. 2- answer the question. 3- consider moving somewhere you don’t have to live in fear of such horrible weather…

And they were only reported gusts. Inland was just up to 50mph. That still too scary?
