Well, it looks like after ten years we are finally going to get hit again with a hurricane and whether we are hit nose on or a side blow, it looks as if there will be consequences for us. I moan at the thought of the meat I have in my freezer, but if we stay safe that will be a small price to pay.
Are you ready? Do you have water and food that will not need refrigeration? Do you have your shutters oiled and ready to slide quickly for closing? Do you have medication? Do you have your records safe and at hand? Check that your phone numbers for insurance are up to date. Do you have lanterns, fans, and batteries on hand. If any answer here is no, then today and tomorrow is a good time to go out and fix what is missing.
We installed a landline this year that was meant for just such a time. If you have one make sure the number goes to family and friends who will want to reach you after the event - should it really come. I hope not, but better to be prepared than not.
Hopefully this Erika will spin out and die somewhere far away from us but if not - I wish us all a safe time and may we all watch out for each other. That is the only way to get through these things.
