A dear friend of mine in Brunswick, Georgia just posted on FB

Night time skies.
Sheets of rain. SHEETS!
Continuous Pounding Thunder.
Tornado watches.
High winds.

Scary time right now as this Cat 4 storm gets closer to Florida.

Brunswick, Saint Simons, Jekyll, Cumberland Island are all getting a thrashing, I’m sure. Love all those places, and I hope everybody there will be safe.

Squirrels galore too,and I remember seeing them everywhere.

Then I read somewhere that one of the main ingredients in Brunswick Stew was...(drum roll)

Ta da!...Squirrrel meat! (YUM!)

Don't know if there's any connection, but I sure know where they can find a shit ton of squirrels to toss in the pot if it's true.
