So are you happy, mixed, or not happy that this storm is close to you?
I recommend that you do a little volunteering after the storm if you are a storm buff.
This is what I do and it helps reduce my guilt in addition to a good thing on just helping whom who is suffering after the storm?
Thank You
I did not yet check the tropical update today but yesterday, I put in a message of assurance for the public and yourself to see on the same page as your message.
Thank You
To “Truth Is Killing Me” and the public.
The truth is that it might be a direct hit but then will it be a direct hit at Gonzalo’s strength back in 2014 and that is if it is a direct hit.
The only exception is rainfall which will likely be heavy even if it is not that intense of a storm.
Now, I can never be sure but I do not think that this is going to be another Gonzalo for Bermuda.
Note-I chased Gonzalo to Bermuda and now I temporarily lost and cannot find all of my contact information to all of these people in Bermuda when I have supplies from Bermuda that I need to return to Bermuda and I owe currency to Bermuda after some sleeping deals too.
I was the one who was outside in all of the heart of Gonzalo and most of it’s most intense surroundings awhile at a bus stop.
I live in New York State of the United States.
Thank You
