[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 739250, member: 19522"] I have my personal papers in a portable file. I think I will take them to my office tomorrow. One less thing to worry about. I have water bottles and canned goods by the door, ready to load. Will pack clothes and blankets, flashlights and phone chargers. I have to figure out a plan for my dog and the little rescue kitty we just acquired. I will leave the house if the winds are projected over 50. I have been through that, it is so scary and the risk is too great for a tree to topple on my home. There will be news of shelters opening, which ones accept animals. My sister in law has offered her place. I don’t want to leave if not necessary, I do worry about looters, given the meth houses in my area. But, life is worth more than property. It is eerily calm now. There is still hope the storm will veer into a better direction, but warnings and watches predict at the least, tropical storm conditions, winds at 40 with 70 gusts. Sigh. It is a wait and see. And lots of prayer. Yup, lots to deal with, the false alarm of imminent nuclear missles. There is a video of a man putting his kids into a storm drain. It was a drill gone wrong, that’s what they said. It took 45 agonizing minutes for the all clear. But......there were similar things that happened in other areas, which makes me think the system was hacked. I think there is alot going on that we have no idea about. No control. There are many things in life we have no control over. I am reminded of Recovering, who went on vacation as wildfires loomed near her home. What can we do sometimes but breathe and do our best to live in each moment? I am waiting to see what the 10 pm news says. We should know much more tomorrow night. My quote thingee won’t work again. You are right Copa, there is not much more to be done, but prepare as best can and heed authorities. Stay calm and present. I might also be called upon as a first responder, now that is a whole different chapter! When it rains, it pours, if you will pardon the pun. Thank you Copa for your prayers. Leafy [/QUOTE]
