The wind was blowing
As hurricane Mathew gets closer the wind starts blowing. You know the rain will follow but you hope the hurricane stays way off so there is no direct hit. Just like everyone else I stopped at the grocery as soon as they opened to stock up. I went straight to the water aisle and could clearly see from a distance that there was only three gallon jugs left. I hurried because if someone turned into the aisle the other way they would reach them first. There were plenty of twenty-four pack bottles but the gallons go quicker because they are not as heavy. Of course batteries are never on sale when a storm is near. I don't know why but I then went to the next grocery store and again I found no gallons. I again grabbed the heavy 24 pack of bottles. I can understand why the batteries are not on sale they want profits. But why can't they order extra gallons of water that they always run out of at times like this. To all the groceries stores out there stop making us hurt our backs just watch the weather updates and order more gallons of water, please. Keep safe and be prepared because the hurricane and tornadoes can blow in the wind your direction just as easily as they can blow away from you.

Well as I ran from store to store looking for gallons of water and I ran back and fourth to schools to pick the kids up I passed gas stations over and over again. But I kept saying I will get it later. When I went out later there was half the gas stations with signs saying out of gas. The other half had long lines waiting to get gas hoping it didn't run out there too before they filled their tanks. I didn't have any gas to wait and I had wasted half of what I did have already looking for a gas station that had gas. The obvious lesson is make sure your gas tank is full 36 hours before a hurricane is due to hit. But if you do forget like I do just save the quarter of a tank you do have not waste it looking for gas at the last minute.
