Julio isn't due to get her until Sunday or Monday, so we have a lil break in between. All the tracking shows it far enough to the north and not much of a problem except the band of moisture 150 miles wide that goes along with it. In the meantime, we are ready if it changes course and comes here.

Still have all the evacuation supplies in the car in case, but mostly I am trying to relax and be grateful that Iselle didn't damage my area. Hope power is restored in the next few days for the remaining people without, and that road are opened up. Due to trees and powerlines down, some roads are closed and I heard people are walking/hiking 3-5 miles to get in and out of their homes.

Yes keep car packed, better to be safe then sorry and have last minute repacking car, sad some of the area were hit with power loss, with hurricane Sandy I was without power for 3 days, the hotels & motels were offering free showers, GREAT community, no power, no water. I ALWAYS keep several 2 1/2 gal. jugs of water, we have had many, many power outage's over the years. Last Aug. I had a stand by generator put in, that was MY guarantee my area would not suffer anymore power outages lol, so far so good. Praying Julio is a no show. Wouldn't that be a blast if YT members and babies could meet at Maui for a pool party lol, I envision wall to wall babies playing lol just a dream lol.

So glad to see you posting! I really feel for the people without power!!

I wonder how long before stores open and you have access to them. People probably stocked up on food for awhile. I am so glad you are safe and the Yorkies are not scared.

I hope you can check in to let us know you are okay.

I know this is a little late, but everything is well here! Thank you for thinking of us! We really didn't feel much of anything, a little bit of rain Friday night and that was about it. I count our blessings and send prayers to those that suffered losses!

Yes, we sure were lucky compared to the folks on Big Island. Hard to believe that still 8,000 people are without power, and some may take 3 weeks to be restored. So sad for families trying to manage around that.

I am so thankful you are all find and that storm did not leave damage. My poor friend in Hawaii is there helping her friend Brenda who is on hospice and they have no power. Yes, we all are happy for the great news that storm is gone and you are safe and of course the precious Yorkies!

I'm glad you were lucky, twice! 3 weeks is a long time to be without power. Our friends in the county north of us lost power for weeks after hurricane Izzy, years ago. They tolerated it much better than I would have, although we have a gas water heater and stove.
