Oh they were bad, real bad, but they did not hit NJ like the one in 1962.

Maybe if we all put our minds to it, we could “think” it bsck out to sea...
I know - dream on.

Good comments about the gas.
I’d like to piggyback an additional caution on your comments for people who might wind up using gas-powered electric generators to be extremely conscious and careful about ensuring they have proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust. People die every year from that while using generators in poorly-ventilated areas.

I just heard that. I listen to a Salisbury radio station during the day.

I feel better. ;)
After Rita we had a tree (BIG pine) on the house and no electricity for 3 weeks. We were evacuated for duration of no electricy. We're 70 miles from GOM...as a bird flies.

Looks like tomorrow will be a baking day for me.
Was planning to bake some pumpkin bread anyway.
I also have about 30 tins of sterno.
In case of electricity loss, I'll be able to heat up can goods.

Think I’ll stop off at the bank and take out some extra money just in case.

We are doing well. We survived the earthquake. Now we just need to get through Irene with minimal discomfort. Hope you and zelig are well.

Good gravy! We've been lucky. We had some 70 MPH winds but only lost roofing shingles.
We have an old well out front with a broken pump in it. A bucket works too. :-)
