I am so glad I went and got groceries when I did. The stores were insane. See we have what is being called a post tropical storm, with damn close to hurricane force winds, if not hurricane force winds coming through... in a few hours. After we got nailed by Yuan a few years ago, people are not taking chances any more.
Aside from it starting to get bad out now, and it *will* get worse, is the timing. IT'S NOVEMBER. HURRICANE SEASON IS OFFICIALLY OVER. And as I live in Halifax NS, Canada, this drives the point home particularly well that we have screwed over our environment.
And yes, the storm's name is Noel. What a way to welcome in the holiday season - sort of.
