Great to see you back for another season! Is everything back to baseline for you post-Ike?
Yes, I was very fortunate. Rode out the storm just fine. Power was off for two weeks. Found a friends apartment that somehow avoided the power outage and stayed there.
I’ve been starting to lay in some canned goods but that’s about it for storm prep. I’m not going to go the generator route — decided it’s just too much money for too little usage. But I realize now I need to do better with emergency light. The few flashlights and tea lights I had were not sufficient.
It was exciting to be one of the ones who was posting and posting that night until whamm-o, off the air for the duration.
‘Tis the season! Hopefully it will pretty much be the boring one some have forecasted, with enough storms to keep us interested, and not enough to do major damage.
