Good for you! How can DH make fun of you for being prepared? Shame on him, & no water for him when he gets all dry & parched after the water goes off! Hmmph!!So far so good. I have bottled water and batteries ( hiding them in my company car so my DH does not make fun of me ) Chef-Boy-R-Dee and a hand crank can-opener. I need to find a battery operated coffee maker. If the power goes out for days and I have no coffee it will be VERY ugly around here :scared:
Looks like it will come into Wilmington. They are predicting as a Cat 1. We are a couple hours from there but we could get some strong wind bands and rain. I am now officially on-call for work for Saturday and Sunday
I am more worried about Ike. he is VERY dangerous, no matter where he hits, if he does not weaken. I only pray he does not strengthen further and that somehow he misses the United States
That would be great...IF WE HAD A GAS STOVE!
For some strange reason, 99% of the homes here in S. FL do not have gas---only electric. (???) This peeves my hubby to no end, as he is quite the chef, and cooking on electric here, since we moved from CA, has just about killed him!
Although, I suppose I could use the Coleman on that fondue get-up I mentioned earlier....
BTW, thanks Kristilyn, for the good wishes! I don't know about gymmom, but I do not have a battery operated lap-top. I guess it's crosswords, naps, & games until I can get back online! UGH!
What is your work again, that you will have to be on call? I'm sorry you will have to be so busy during the storm! I guess it'll make the time go faster?The only battery operated laptop I have is for work and I cannot use it for this !!! Besides if Ike hits up here - I will be pretty busy and won't have time to chat !!
Looks like Hannah will hit - we have severe weather alerts. Of course I have not read what it says but there is one
Touche'. Guess this is the price for living in paradise!I hope you Floridians are all tucked up safe and warm, it looks as though SC might get some nasty weather too.
Ya'll live in a lovely place, but get some funky weather, I think I'll keep the snow.
Thank you, gym mom! Great idea about freezing the ice jugs to keep the stuff in the freezer cold. Also, keeping tabs on all the important paperwork is good advice! I also heard to fill up the tub (for the scenario of the water being off) so one can use buckets from there to flush the toilets.I was born in Fl left when I was little and came back 16years ago the worst this part of the state has got was in 04-05 we seem to be in a safe zone .The people in Hanna's path I would just make sure you have enough food /water/gas etc.if you have empty jugs I would freeze extra water to help keep freezer cold and eat up your ice cream melted ice cream is a mess,I came home to that last time we left.If you have grill and loose power after the storm you can always grill.If you live on the water and a hurricane comes near alot of times the water company will shut off your water.Ike is mean lookout for him if in his way leave.I am just waiting to see if he skirts up the west coast.Also take pictures of your inside of the house and keep them safe along with ins,drivers liscense ,etc Stay safe!Up north the kids have snow days in fl we have hurricane days,the kids here arleady missed 1 due to fay,fay would not go away.
