I survived a few hurricane's during my time in New England and they are rarely fun. Lots of anxiety before, and a lot of work to get prepped, reinforcing windows and what have you, but if you are lucky enough to avoid damage from winds or debris and such, and aren't in a flood zone, it can be kind of a Zen experience riding the actual storm out.

Of course the aftermath of hurricane Gloria in '86 was indirectly responsible for me starting to explore a lot more DC books and get over being a Marvel Zombie, as we were without power for 3 days and made daily trips to 7-11 for perishables and I kept buying comics I had never tried before to keep me entertained every time I went in-an issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths was one of those books, as was an issue of Who's Who.

Best of luck riding the storm out, just make sure you take the necessary precautions.

I've survived Katrina and Sally doesn't have me particularly worried as a Category 2. Right now there's just a lot of rain and I don't exactly supposed to hit us with the brunt of it. But yeah, got Mtn Dew and tons of books to keep me happy, so I should be fine

Thanks for the well wishes everyone~

Things that don't happen in movies because people wouldn't believe it:

Yesterday my wife and I were coming back home and decided to pick up something for a late dinner. A few minutes away from our goal, we had a choice: either do three km on the highway, or take a small country road. Both choices took us home in about the same time, but while the highway was more familiar, the country road was definitely prettier (even though it was already night). Besides, I am not familiar yet with that road and fully expected to take a wrong turn at some point.

So we looked at each other like two mischievous middle-aged folks daring to change their brand of breakfast cereal, and jokingly said "hey, let's have a little adventure!" The country road it was!

I did take a wrong turn, but we got back on track within a few minutes and before you can say "we're home", we were almost there...

...and there was a car crashed into a tree, two hundred feet from our driveway!!! But on the side we wouldn't have seen had we chosen the highway.

We stopped on the side of the road and ran to see how the driver and eventual passengers were doing; the smoke from the airbags had not yet dissipated. The driver was alone; he was a young guy, coherent and quite sober but in shock. He had apparently taken the curb too fast (the road there is not lit at all, and there are trees everywhere).

We took care of the fellow, called 911 (who were insanely worried about COVID-19) and waited for the firemen and ambulance to arrive, which barely took five or ten minutes. I was pretty impressed.

Once the professionals took care of the driver and took my personal informations, my wife and I were free to go.

I felt like Bilbo Baggins! "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door!"

I look forward to doing the same once I getting my collection re-boxed and cataloged

Well, Jesus coming back is kind of the point, y'know? 

In fact, I'd be more interested in seeing a realistic story about how people react to their teacher actually coming back from the dead that in seeing his earlier torture and execution.

What a coincidence impulse I too finally dusted off some comics and read them over the weekend.

Read Ruins again, which has been a long time since the last read and I forgot how depressing it is. I remembered that it was basically the polar opposite take on Marvels, but damn :-(
Also started on Newuniversal. I own the HC and read it a long time ago, but I went ahead and grabbed the singles issues too at only 50 cents each. And much to my surprise as well I do still like reading comics.
