Hi Shirl, are you going to be safe where you are or are you a target, too?

I also send my prayers. I am from the Cayman Islands so I am well acquainted with major hurricanes (scary stuff). May God bless and protect everyone that is or will be affected.

Hola Carmen you are too funny ! Love it. It sounds like a party the place to be.
My daughter and her family are in NY and they just left me in Orlando after being here for a month.
She was so worry about us and look , you just never know.
Well I love your list , you might want to add candle and if you can get a black Tv/radio with batteries, I got one at walgreen for 19.99, I'm sure CVS might have them too. You might want a hand can opener. and some can food. I put my water in the freeze and I use it as needed in case the elect is off for a day or two. I also fill up all my bath tubs and also put water in some of my pots.
Maybe you can sleep thru this hurricane with the wine and good food Lol !!!
Be safe! I will have all of you at YT and the states in my prayers,
God Bless !!!

I'm inland about 200 miles and we don't even expect rain but I'm not complaining!

I can understand you not complaining.

Right on the coast...the little arm that's sticks out into the ocean all by itself.
We are in good shape...going out to help pull some friends boats out of the water just in case....But I am ready.

The Yorkies of New Yorkie would make easy work of the flooded out rats (if their humans were not under evactuation oders).

Ready....But not really concerned. I'm a "see it to believe it" kinda girl I guess. The only thing that is missing from my survival kit is a nice steaming plate of chinese food! But my BF forbids me from going outside. He's afraid I might just blow away like a ribbon in the wind.

Things are pretty calm outside as of right now. But we'll see what tricks Irene has up her sleeves.

Laptop is charged

liquor cabinet full! (it may be a long couple days with kids and mother-in-law!)


Good Luck to everyone! Stay safe! Be smart! Don't take any risks with this weather!
