Thursday Afternoon Update

Ok.
We are done preparing.


The patio doors are covered
and we even have sand bags!


The windows on the front of the house
are all boarded up and secure.


The vehicles are parked in the middle
of the yard away from any trees
or anything else that might damage them.


We are watching the news.
But not finding it particularly helpful.

Rod is taking a shower.
I'm finishing the laundry in preparation
for having no power soon.

The power company learned that if
they turn the power off,
then they don't blow transformers.
That way when the storm is over
they can just turn the power back on
and unless your wires are down,
you get power back.

We are anticipating being without power
for a good long time.
Likely long after we return from Arizona.

That's ok.
We have 2 Yamaha generators.

They are still predicting dire conditions
for those on the barrier islands.
Anticipating storm surge coming all the way
to US Highway 1.
We are WEST of that.
That's good.


This is the absolute latest.
Looks like heavy winds from 5am
To around noonish.

So we will finally have a hurricane
During the daylight hours.

 Maybe.

It changes all the time.
We will likely know what is going on
Just about the time it is going on.

So anyway...
That's my latest update.
