Hurricane Season

It's been one year (yesterday) since Irma.

And now we have Florence.

She is heading north of us.

Which is good for us.

Not so good for them.

My Trim Healthy Facebook feed is FULL

of slightly panic-filled posts about

"What do we DO?"

Lots of us from Florida and Texas have done

what we can to help them through.

It is pretty intimidating,

scary, nerve-wracking, etc.

But you just have to either go with it,

or move.

And we aren't going to move.

They say we are already getting the effects

on the coast. Higher waves, greater

beach erosion and serious rips.

1 person was killed and 2 were seriously

injured in the ocean yesterday.

But at least we aren't getting the brunt of the storms.

Yes, stormS.

There are actually THREE of them out there.

Florence, Isaac, Helene.

Florence is going north to N.C.

Isaac is going south to the islands

(and then who knows where... those are the ones

we "worry" about - once they hit the islands

they either die, or skip over the top,

hit the warm water on the other side and then....

into the Gulf? Up the East side? Up the West side?

Slide across to Texas??? Nobody knows yet.)

And Helene looks like maybe she'll curve and die

out in the ocean.

But they are both at least a week away from

really knowing what they are doing.

(Sounds like ME!)

Meanwhile.

We just had our house re-wired.

We now have a place where we can plug in

the generator(s) and run all the freezers,

fridges, and even the lights.

That feels good.

So, we are prepared.

And we are not scared.

But we are keeping an eye on the horizon.

This is as close to an "adrenaline rush" as I'm

interested in. 

Is it weird that I love it?
