Break! And I dash. For peoplez who have never been through a hurricane, when the first bands come through you think you’re in the goddamned outer eye it rains and blows so hard. If you’re out in that for a second you’re drenched. But then as quickly and as furiously as it came on it vanishes. Just poof! Then, no telling how long, another band will come through. Obviously the nearer the hurricane gets to you the more quickly the bands come through and the longer their duration until you have the full monty.
One time (oh my God I am such an idiot) in 2004 I went to the beach with my girlfriend in the middle of a Cat 3. Hurricanes are tres dramatic and I weren't skaed a no peepy 3. We walked along the shoreline for a little bit but the wind was blowing so hard that it was making tiny, stinging projectiles of the wet sand. So of course I decided to go for a dip. Just about knocked me over; didn't, but just about. Afterwards I sat with my girlfriend on the sand. Presently, it cleared up. Just poof. Blue sky. "Look at that!" "Oh my God!" Drama over, we left. In the car we looked up and there was like a hole in the sky. A blue hole surrounded by gray clouds. Ah, the eye.
