Still waiting on Sandy...

For those of you who missed the email, and the text, and the automated phone message, and every weather report for the last week (basically, anyone who has been under a rock for the past week): yes, Hurricane Sandy is scheduled to hit Princeton pretty soon (updates on the Princeton homepage).Pretty good timing, Princeton.Here's a glimpse of what you'll run into if you try to do some hurricane stock-up at the U-Store. The bread is out, the peanut butter supply is low, and some kid walked out with cases and cases of bottled water. At 3:30, there were 25+ people in line. Among the things people were buying: cereal, water, pasta, water, salad, water, plastic utensils, water, sandwiches, water, applesauce, water, chips, water, crackers. Don't worry, Princeton has generators. And a call to Public Safety clarified that the dining hall (Rocky-Mathey) is considered "critical and essential staff," and will be opened.But as of this posting, not a drop of rain had fallen. Come on, Sandy, we're ready for you!
