This evening my hubby and I are bringing in all the plants, furniture and things that can fly! We keep all the other stuff ready all the time. With 7 animals, we'll just hunker down and hope the weather is cooler when/if the power goes out :) I'll gladly give up 2 fridges of food if the windows and roof will stay intact :)This was to be our weekend to rest and relax finally after a very busy summer- oh well. Best laid plans......

DH and I will bring in the patio umbrella, lawn chairs and anything else that might blow away. He's going to get gas for the generator just in case we lose power. And I'm hoping he goes to the grocery store tomorrow for some food (he's retired and I work.) He loves going to the grocery store, so let him go be with the crowds.

Keep watching the weather channel. I don't plan on boarding up, but I do expect to lose power. I'll make a decision tomorrow about how much outdoor stuff needs to be brought inside. We just moved and I'm a little concerned about flooding since we just moved and the garage looks like a warehouse...don't want those cardboard boxes getting wet bottoms

tomorrow morning on my way home from work, I will be stopping to pick up bottled water, baby wipes, some non-perishables that also don't need to be cooked or heated, some batteries and some candles. I don't think it will be too bad here since I'm 2 hours from the coast, but I want to be prepared in case we lose power.
