I just thought this might be a fun thread to share this story regarding Florence:
I recently ordered a set of Frame Sliders from Samurider, only to get a box with honda OEM engine guards at my front door about 4 days before the hurricane landed in NC. Of course, I let Mr. T know and he immediately figured out that my sliders had been sent to Bellingham Washington (do we have any members in Bellingham?), and that I had got some guards that belong to another fellow with a CB1100.
So we're doing a swap. I send his guards to Washington, he sends my sliders to SC, Mr. T pays everybody's shipping and everybody gets on with life. However, on account of the chicken-little-esque histeria in SC, all business and post offices were shuttered many days in advance of our little rainstorm, So I didn't ship the guards out until yesterday. Once I got a tracking number I sent it over to Mr. T and asked if our friend in Bellingham had a tracking number for me yet. Get this: he tells me the guy saw on the news all about the big storm in my area and was waiting for everything to pass!
I just had to write an email explaining to a guy in Japan and a guy in Washington how the weather anchors down here exaggerate everything, and the difference in distance between North and South Carolina. He was watching the news and thought charleston was a flooded wasteland.
