It is usually the 3 or 4 days AFTER the storm which are the most annoying.
It's always during the storm that is the most annoying for us, the power is very unreliable and will go out so we try not leave anything but the necessities plugged in and it's way to nasty to try to open the garage so therefore we're stuck in the house and about the only thing to do is hang out here. Wife and I have stepped out on the back screen room a couple of times just to watch the action, it's very hypnotic.
Last year during Jeanne the barrier islands where we live were closed for 4 days after the storm and if we left we couldn't get back on so therefore we were 'stranded' if you will. There were only a handful of folks in our neighborhood who stayed and we sure had a couple of fun days. Lots of cleaning up, BBQing and drinks...was fun to have the roam of the island for a couple of days! I don't believe very many left for this one.
