Pick up paper plates and plastic forks and spoons. You’ll thank me...

Will do... thanks! :-)

Thanks, NN - just told my husband to pick up paper plates, hadn’t even thought of that.

These things really are a crapshoot. I remember being in the expected path of two during my time in the navy. First time I was in VA. Beach on shore duty and the storm turned East and out to sea. We got the day off anyway and played golf in the sunshine.

Second time I was on shore duty in Charleston and they predicted the storm (HUGO) would turn north. It didn’t and it hit us dead on. Mass destruction, deaths, flooding, islands washed away, no power for at least a week, 2 months worth of sawing up downed trees, etc.

Hurricanes are like a box of chocolates....
