We're in Central NJ - between ocean and Del. River. Hopefully it won't be too bad. They have upgraded us from hurricane 'watch' to 'warning' now. DH and I are both involved with local fire company so will prbably both be busy from Sat. night on with feeding and sheltering folks as well as making sure our own homes are safe. DH checked generator last night. As long as we can plug the sump pump in I'm a happy camper. Otherwise the table saw will be floating across the basement. Last time we had a major storm -not hurricane- the dogs were swimming in the back yard in water up to my thighs. We have a creek behind us that normally is only ankle deep but with the rain that we've had over the last couple of weeks it will only be a matter of a couple of hours before that rises as well. We have a commercial property as well, adjacent to our home, that, again, with just a heavy storm the water runs in the back doors of the buildings and out the front. Hurricane Floyd was more than a challenge a few years ago. And this is predicted to be worse. Here's hoping we keep our heads above water.

HOPE everyone in harms way stays safe and gets thru this with mimamal damage. We were in the path of hurricane Charlie back in 2004 and had dammage to our roof. also several days with no electric. Not fun. Here's hoping the best for all involved!!!!

They have been awesome! Want to know how to be prepared so one gathered all flashlights to a central location and the other one inventoried batteries and made me a list so we knew what we have and what we needed. Today we'll secure everything from the yard and store it in the shed.
What great kids you have!!
Then we're gonna hunker down and play board games!
Be safe and smart!

Thank you for the well wishes, I have to say I am scared to death. We were also a victim of Isabel when she came thru here a few yrs back. Irene is suppose to hit us here in VA and I'm not looking forward to it. I live in Newport News and yes, we're going to get it. I know we're going to be w/o power but I won't know for how long. I also have surgery on Monday to boot! :| :thumbdown:

I am praying for all of you in the Hurricane area. I lived in Houston many years and lived through several. It is no fun and not to be under estimated. May all of you be safe and your property be protected.
It would be wonderful if God would just take His hand and move the whole thing out to sea. God bless all of you.
