hurricane party
What does hurricane party mean?
A Gulf Coast tradition: when a hurricane's headed your way and you've decided not to evacuate, you tape the windows, fill the bathtub, and throw a party. Burn the freezer food before the power goes, kill the liquor before the roof does. Equal parts gallows humour and genuine community ritual — neighbours ride it out together so nobody's alone when the lights cut.
"Cat 3 inbound and the boys next door are already setting up the hurricane party — gumbo on the stove, generator gassed up."
