talked to my sister this morning. They are getting things up around the house, checked out the generator. She lives in Swansea, Mass (southern new england) Hurricane Bob left her 4 weeks without power. My big concern is she is 2 city blocks from the saltwater. They didn't leave last time and I am afraid for her this time if the storm comes in at high tide. Please pray for Jane, she is all I have left of my family. I have already lost a mom,dad, older sister, and older brother last year. Jane is my baby sister, I am 62, she is 56. Getting older shows me everyday that the important things in life are not things.

thank you my yorkie friends

Ha-ha! When the tornado struck Joplin, it hit a bank.

LOL, that is bad. Not a fail-proof plan then.

I am out of the danger zone....only going to get tropical storm conditions, which according to the weatherman we had here last night with the strong storm that rolled through our town.

I will be thinking of everyone along the coast. Stay safe!

Reese1 · 08-26-2011, 12:23 PM

Good! Thank God you are safe - now if we can get a similar post from every one on this thread in the path, it will be all good.

MauiGirl · 08-26-2011, 01:39 PM

Wow, just saw on news that 65 million people are in the path.

Hope everybody has taken this seriously and are taking steps to stay safe, especially from flooding.

Ellie May · 08-26-2011, 02:33 PM

Thinking about everybody that has to deal with this.

Don't forget a first aid kit for all your pups. Things to help with cuts, broken legs, etc. Also Benadryl..

If it's hot down there right now, I'd also be looking into battery operated fans to try and keep pups cool if need be.

Jinger · 08-26-2011, 02:57 PM

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone out there and YT members, we will be checking on all of you. Stay safe and love on those dogs!

Irene = a kink in the plans!
We put son on flight yesterday for Boston (I cried almost all day). He was going on a 5 or 6-day school-orientation backpacking trip in Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont. Hubby and I fly out there tomorrow, & shop for all his needed items (spread, files, shelves, etc. etc). Wednesday morning we were to meet up with him, move him into the dorm and fly out that afternoon.

(ATTN NON-YT WEIRDO STALKER POSSIBLES: We have housesitters coming and they're BIG! And mean! To say nothing of Zoe

)

D*$n Irene has cut his trip short and they're busing him back to campus (at least less dangerous). Don't know if our flight will leave, if we'll end up in a hotel without power or water, who knows?! I'm trying to practice flexibility and peace with what "is".

This should be an experience!

Oh, my, well, take care and try to enjoy the trip. They did say on CNN that the storm is weakening - the weatherman that is. The reporters doing reports are still calling it a Cat 2 but I swear I heard that weatherman there say the winds are less than 100 degrees in the storm itself after the latest flight into the eye.
