Glued to the TV weather, and online weatherunderground, great site!

We are in the line of fire.

It does seem that we will be in a direct line with the Hurricane named Fay, a category 1 when she arrives on our shores, which means 74-95 mph winds although much less than Charley but potentially catastrophic just the same. Four have been killed already in the Caribbean Islands where it has hit.

Preparation has slowly started on our home front. This morning my husband filled our gas cans that will be used for our two generators. Our car tank also filled to the brim. Magically he was able to find gas for only $3.49. 9 a gallon! Thanks gasbuddy.com.
Tomorrow we'll be battening down the hatches day, all possible out projectiles will be removed or tied down. I will also be taking inside and outside photographs for our insurance that is what helped get them to pay us after Hurricane Charley. A picture sure is worth a thousand words and also tens of thousands of dollars too.

The storm is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday August 19th at 8 A.M.
All necessary chargers are on our technologies, which consists of TV, phones, lights, and batteries that will be needed if our power goes out, generators are used when the calm after comes.
Three cases of water are kept backed up in our garage all the time during this season.

Being scouts in our childhood probably made us this conscientious of how to handle this situation.

Every time the news says it is coming towards us not our sons there is some relief in my heart when I hear that.
As I have said before they live two hours away in either direction, and so far it has not been said that their areas are in jeopardy. I can only pray it stays that way.

Sleep will be not so good until Wednesday I am afraid.
Things can change and maybe it will fizzle; it has happened before.
What a relief that would be.

Good quiet night!
