Hunkering Down for the Hurricane...


It's time for us to put on our "Super Hero" faces as brave the massive hurricane coming our way!!!!  Of course, since we have moved to the area this is the third storm that has been CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!  So we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.  

We have moved all patio furniture and outdoor toys in the garage.  We secured our cars as safely as we could.  We finally found a flashlight from one of our gracious neighbors (since no store in 100 miles is selling them now!).  We stocked up on bread, cereal, bottled water, peanut butter, crackers, and any other item that we could survive on.  Candles are ready to be burned.  Laundry is done and put away.  And now we are just in the waiting game.

75% of our town is under a mandatory evacuation due the massive flooding that occurred last year.  Thankfully, we are in the 25% that can stay home---which is great since we don't really have anywhere to go.  We are a bit nervous that if the power goes out, our sump pump is done and there may end up being some water coming into our house, but we will keep ourselves, children, and dogs safe!  

Prayers for all in the line of this massive storm!  
We are hoping to survive several days of cabin fever inside the house with minimal flooding!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Julie. I hope you and your family are safe with minimal damage. So many devastating photos they are showing on the news. We're still without power but no damage here luckily!
