Most of us have an ongoing "to do" list. While I was out and about today, I started putting together a list of things to not do when a tropical storm is lingering in the area.
Do Not go up in a lift truck to repair the sign on the front of a coffee shop. Given that the sign was most likely damaged by high winds, hoisting yourself skyward in those same winds is probably not a good idea.
Do Not go hunting. Animals are smarter than most humans. Certainly they're smart enough to remain deep in the thickets and curled up in their burrows when rain is falling fast enough to sink a ship. Which means hunters are almost certainly going to return home empty handed - and a lot wetter than the animals they were hoping to catch by surprise.
Do Not ride a moped without rain gear and facial protection. With rain being blown sideways, simply squinting your eyes while trying to pull your neck down inside of your sweatshirt like a turtle retracting into its shell isn't going to get you where you need to go safely.
