Other people are preparing for the hurricane, I'm preparing for boredom!
In all seriousness, I wish everyone in the path, minimum damage, no loss of life or property, and above all, safety!
Peg, I have been praying also for everyone in "Irene's" path and pray that there is no loss of life and very little property damage. I live just outside of New Orleans and
know what hurricanes are like. For anyone who is planning on evacuating, be sure to take enough clothes and anything else you would normally need daily. When our family left New Orleans before "Katrina" struck, we took enough to last about three days. As it turned out, we were gone three weeks and had to buy extra personal things.
Take care and bless you and your family.
