Sandy sets its sights on the Bahamas
(CNN) -- Given their geography, Bahamians know a thing or two about hurricanes.
As Hurricane Sandy began to blow through the Bahamas after pummeling eastern Cuba, Nassau resident Stephan Rolle wasn't overly worried.
It is a "small storm" with "mediocre wind," he said of the Category 2 hurricane with winds of 105 mph.
But as the center of the storm churned 125 miles east-southeast of Nassau on Thursday, Rolle and others also knew they had to prepare.
Rolle, 29, waited for 40 minutes in line at a grocery store to purchase nonperishable goods and bread. He moved the potted plants and emptied part of his family's pool to make room for the rainwater.
