School was released an hour and a half early because of the storm. At work, I was watching the ocean come closer and closer to the clinic, but I kept being assured that the road home would be fine. Then the ocean came right across the street, and one of the PA's was telling the manager she needed to release us (the ones who live away from the clinic) so we could get home. This was around the same time they were looking for people to let the clinic use their boats in case of emergency. So my boyfriend came and picked me up and we fled the clinic.
We did stop at the Sea Lion )or the little AC store) because the AC was unreachable. I have never seen so many people crammed into that tiny store! It was food stamp day (first of the month) so people wanted their food. We waited in line for maybe 30 minutes. We mainly waited because we actually bought a loveseat there. There is a huge PFD sale going on, because PFD's come out soon. It is being delivered over the weekend.
