'Hunkering Down'

new phrase to learn is 'hunkered down', which is staying during the hurricane and riding it out. went downtown with my friend Nikki and a few of her mates, thursday night we went to the pub, and played wii, we decided not to evacuate houston as we had no where to go...and i guess none of us had been through a hurricane and was mildly curious, and mildly naive of what it entails...the tv was 24 hours of full on coverage, and we began to see the devastation it was creating in Galveston, just 60 miles away on the coast
