Allah swt will keep us safe in shaa Allah if he intends for us to live through this the same way he made the fire cool on prophet Abraham PBUH.. guess people here really don't believe that God plays any part in their lives.. I am not saying not to take precautions but just this vile panic & fear that's everywhere is so unnecessary!
I have had a major fight yesterday just trying to calm someone down. It is a hurricane for the love of God.. last time they did the same thing with Irene and we ended up evacuating and staying with relatives in the most uncomfortable night ever and you know what, nothing happened like they described, this time they start again with how much worse this is than Irene and how we're all stupid and jeopardizing the first aid response worker's lives.. in what way I can't imagine any of them are qualified to change a diaper let alone save a life.. Once people hand their lives over to some other authority they frankly deserve all that's coming their way.. It is as if God didn't create in them any faculties. Believe me it isn't bravery -- I think that's how our ancestors handled it.. they looked into the water saw tides, saw temperature and current changes and took precautions accordingly. Only these fools cause panic, or famine or whatever just to control the masses.
Even if it were as bad as they describe around the clock, still better to die with dignity at home than stranded somewhere else!
I am staying put in shaa Allah for now not going anywhere!
No work no school except for the people already at work who will sleep there!
