I get panic attacks and I keep thinking our roof will fly off or our home destroyed. NJ just had an earthquake. I cannot remember ever having one in NJ and now this. I feel like doom, like the end of the world is coming. I know it's in my mind, but I'm still so worried. I have a big bag packed with food, water and bowls for the dogs and parrot. I have two large crates that will be a tight fit for three in each, but will have to do if we have to leave quickly and I have a carrier out for the parrot. Seven Yorkies, and a parrot. Trying to figure out too how to get them all in the car with my two boys and hubby. I've worked at Shop Rite three years now and even during the snow storms do not recall it ever being as crazy has it has been the last two days. I worked a 13 hour shift today and yesterday couldn't get out until two hours after closing we were so busy. Suppose to work tomorrow, but I think I will call out. Afraid of being stuck there if the storm hits earlier. They made arrangements for employees to sleep there and be safe, and if I did not have pets or a family that is where I'd be. It's safe, but I'd die with my dogs and parrot before I ever left them. If anything happened to them, I'd be dead anyway. I pray for all and hope we all come out safe. You are all in my prayers.

Elaine, don't panick everything will be fine. We survived Hurricane Bob just fine..some damage, but all repairable. The media gets everyone all worked up before there is an actual 'correct track". We even had a "microburst" in the back yard taking out most of my huge white pines. We all survived just fine, even my schnauzer would go outside and do her thing. Do take precautions...but don't worry so much.
