Man, I never thought I'd be doing one of these posts 2 weeks in a row.
How is everyone in San Diego doing? We're hoping that everyone made it thru Hilary unscathed with property intact.
Things really hit home when I did my Saturday shopping…places did seem a bit more busy, but then I dropped by Marukai for a couple of things and one guy had an entire shopping cart full of Gallon spring water bottles; like 20 of them! And the cashier rang him up (they are 99 cents at Marukai) without blinking an eye. I know, I should have taken a photo, but I was totally in shock. As usual my last stop was at Sprouts, I noticed there was a long line at the registers. And then when I passed the water section, oh my!
Shades of "shopping in the times of Covid"! Though it obviously wasn't as bad, my friend told me that Trader Joe's had been cleaned out.
Since I was running late, I managed to visit Gusto Market and purchase something we "just needed".
Which ended up being part of our "brunch" yesterday.
By early afternoon, Hilary had gone from a Category 4 Hurricane, to a Category 2 (here's the measurements) to a Tropical Storm.
We've been in Kyoto when Typhoon Vongfong hit and I remember Iniki as well. But this is SoCal and the last time a Tropical Storm had hit California was in 1939! I don't think we are quite as prepared for events like that!
At 345pm I opened my phone and stuff just kept on coming….
Man, with the fires in Canada and Washington state, the fire in Lahaina, now the hurricane/tropical storm.
We hope that you all made it thru Hilary unscathed! We hope all is well!
