With the hurricane season so active, so early you're right.
I live on the northeastern coast of VA and can be susceptible to 'canes - but was pretty lucky last year, they seemed to skirt west of us and then head to the Atlantic north of us.......but I have no intentions of playing with fate.
How you deal with the storms with the kids is very good advice for anyone, and any type of storms.
I really and truly pray this is not a repeat of last year for you Folks in Florida.
On one occasion, we went a week without power... it was depressing! I ended up going out of town with our little one. My neighborhood was among the very last to get power restored, so frustrating to pass all these lit up areas, then home into the darkness (and cold water!). Since then we've acquired a generator, so Murphy's Law suggests we will never lose power again. True to form, power went out for a few hours recently, and my husband got concerned about the refrigerator (after about five hours) so started hooking up the generator. Sure enough, soon as he started to get it out, the power came back on!
