Happy Hurricane Douglas Day!

The year was 2020. Covid was in full swing. My wife and I were married for less than a year. And the grocery stores and hardware stores were flooded with people preparing for the Category 1 Hurricane Douglas.

We had just moved into a micro-apartment on the 11th floor. If the storm hit, it would have been particularly awful for us. The one room studio apartment had a glass wall that faced the ocean. The building didn’t even have an enclosed hallway. We would have been forced to shelter in the bathroom or in the stairwell. Looking back, I can see that, quite frankly, we were not prepared at all for a hurricane. But it was coming anyways, and soon, the only thing we could do was wait.
