I knew I didn't like that Eduord

In preparation for my first hurricane, which seems unavoidable as of now, we have done the following...

Purchased a fairly small amount of food rations
Found a large amount of batteries for our tv/radio and battery powered fan
Brought home lanterns from work (hubby)
Gotten off work for tomorrow (both of us)
Baked cookies
Purchased wine and put the Mike's on ice
Declined the option to pick up my mother in law since her nursing home isn't evacuating. We don't take her out to lunch any more, we certainly can't take her to a hurricane!

It appears that this will be a smallish, introductory hurricane for this redhead, but losing power is very likely. See you after he leaves!
