Hatches??? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Hatches...
It's going to be an interesting few days for a number of ANN Staffers and their families. As Hurricane Irma bores in on the East Coast of Florida, ANN's Tom Patton is ready to head for higher ground, Chris Odom is weather-proofing his home and hoping for the best, Barry Pruitt and his wife (a new addition to the ANN crew) are heading NorthWest, Nathan, Bri and Laura are well outside the storm's influence, and Jim and his wife, Masako (just outside the current evacuation zone), may try to ride it out with plenty of water, a generator, gas grill, lots of munchies, a six-pack or two (maybe three...), and a cat and dog -- as well as a few friends that may need to get out of flood zones.
