Were I'm at, we're not getting evacuated, just lots of flood warnings (good thing we're on a mountain away from water, and power outage warnings. I guess we have my grandma to thank (we now live in her house after she passed away) for not trusting electric stoves and insisting on gas. We now have propane with an electric start, but it's not that hard to light a match.

We have extra water and other necessities, but if the power does go out, we're not expecting to be without it for too long (prepared for longer than we think!) as we're on the same circuit as a police station, a fire station, and up the road from the township buildings where all the equipment is stored. Gonna charge my laptop after school tomorrow morning and have my GFG quilt basket and everything needed all ready to go if the power goes out. Prayers for those on the coast and getting worse than we're supposed to get!
