Stupid Hurricane question

This will be my first hurricane...I've got a baby shower to go to on Sunday at 2:00pm in Germantown.  Is it going to be so bad that they advise us to not even drive?

Re: Stupid Hurricane question

  • from what I understand flooding is the biggest worry -

    my cousin goes to Salisbury University ( just moved in this am for freshman year ) and they have been evacuated until Monday.

    I would call the shower host and ask what they plan on doing -- I always would rather be safe than sorry. 

  • I agree that I would call the host.  I remember Hurricane Isabelle in 2003 and we got serious winds.  A lot of people were out of power for days and the stop lights were out for a bit as well.  That came through on a Thursday night (I only remember this b/c I was on call for that weekend) and driving wasn't so fun for at least a day or so afterward.  
  • I think other than power outages it sounds like you should be okay by Sunday afternoon.

  • Worst case scenario (hopefully): high winds can bring power wires and branches down.  Also, driving through high standing water can be dangerous.

    I don't think you (or anyone) will really know until that day.  Be cautious, but I'd plan to go.
