Well, they are saying it's going to hit with stronger winds. I have everything tied and bungee corded....well, as much as I can, that is. If it flys away, then it goes. Nothing I can do. They are saying now it will hit tomorrow around 10pm.
Heard from hubs. He says depending on what goes on with the storm...oh yea, theres another one coming after that supposed to hit on Friday....they'll just most likely ride it out.
So, hopefully it won't be that bad. I'm just hoping we don't lose power, but that's a lost cause. I lose power at least every other day. Lost it for 3 hours today. No clue why either. Called power company and they had no clue it was out. Said it didn't show on their grid. UGH!

Don't you just love living on an island. Some years it can be back to back storms. And you never know when the power is going to go out. When we first moved here that power was going out all the time. Not so much many more. I think the power company has finally joined this century.
You guys stay inside and hopefully stay dry.

we are always losing power. The lines are old. Heck, a gecko can crawl across the line the the power will go out. With all the money they get for power bills, you'd think they could replace them

Take care, Terri! Try to make a lean-to out of a mattress in a hallway just in case if it is supposed to get that bad with the winds. Hubby out to sea when something like this is happening is the pits.....been there done that on Willoughby Spit back in the 70's. Yes I had a newborn living on Willoughby
spit in Norfolk during that blizzard...........it was paralized here for about 2 weeks.
