Day 12: What would MC do during a natural disaster?

Sadie grew up in Florida, so she’s no stranger to natural disasters. She’s lived through a number of hurricanes — in fact, she was born in 1992, the year Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida. So Sadie knows the whole routine: stay informed, make sure the hurricane kit is up-to-date, and prepare to hunker down. The house her mother currently lives in has never been flooded and her sister’s condo is on the third floor, but the Diner has taken minor damage in past storms.

Once or twice, Sadie has had to evacuate, but it takes a dire storm for that to happen. For the most part, Sadie makes sure she has supplies (she can cook just about anything with gas-powered camping equipment) to wait things out.

She also keeps her mom occupied while her sister (a cop) is out on storm duty.
