I know you are in a safe place, but just be alert; it's the things that you don't expect that can shake you up.

Sounds like you're got a great plan though. I'd never have thought of that!

God speed to you and your family and friends.

We (my ex-husband and I)went through a few sissy hurricanes that fell apart in the mid'80s in NY so I have some clue as to what to do, but everyone here I know has never dealt with this and I have done the worrying for the masses.

Besides, I have a good grasp on weather and the likes and tend to understand it as far as diameter of the eye, jetstream (or lack in this case, which really screws things up), the right side doing the greater damage and the freakish calm as the eye passes over, yadda, yadda, yadda...

Looking at the radar pictures have just made me feel ill and it looks like there is another storm attempting to form further out in the Atlantic with another patch of clouds after that.

November 30th is a long way off this year and the sooner it is Christmas, the happier I will be.

We have plans to move me back to Phoenix and I will be praying that none of our vehicles get damaged in this skirmish with mother nature.
