Waiting

We are holed up in the house with the necessities (ice-cream, chips
etc) waiting out the storm.

With such a large area, it's tough to know if all the warnings on the
news are for all people. The beach areas have been evacuated, but
everyone around here is digging in.

We've seen some very heavy rain, sporadically, but we are still a long
way from the arrival of the eye overnight.

Our fears are mainly power outages and falling trees - we have 3 tall
trees in our yard and every house around us has at least one or two.
There are tornado warnings in the counties around us.

We have been running the air conditioning at lower than usual to give
us more time if the power goes out, same with the fridge and freezer.

The kids are enjoying the time we are spending at home together, so
every hurricane has a silver lining!!
