The governor had called a State of Emergency. But I hadn't turned on the radio -- all I knew was, it was a school day morning and I had to get the kids off to school. They were dressed & fed, and we drove to school. When we arrived, I was surprised to see no one there, except one school bus driver. I asked him what was going on, and was then informed schools were closed due to the hurricane! Ha! It was raining a little bit, but it didn't seem like a big deal at the time.
