"'It is kind of surreal, it is crazy," Avery added.
To the north of the Hungler family, Frank Micciantuono is also preparing to ride out the hurricane.
"I have never had a Category 3 buzz by me for sure," Micciantuono said.

He added the power was already flickering off.
"It is probably going to be doing this all day today, going on and off, I am anxious, I just want to get it past me," he added.
