Loss of power, I am ready for. Have generator, tub full of water for flushing toilets (on a well) and 3.5 5-gallon water bottles. Also, gas grill for cooking. My house faces north, and I should be facing into the wind. No trees directly in front of my house. Hopefully anything that falls will fall back away from the house. We had trees snap all over the place for Isabel. I was fairly nonchalant until I saw a tweet from Joe Bastardi showing a radar model with a fully formed eye as it comes ashore between DE and NJ, and just has a tiny sliver of land before it lands on ME!
I still need to leave the house this morning to fetch my doggie from the kennel after I had been away this weekend. I will fill my gas and diesel cans, then. Only a three mile trip.
This is the model that started to finally make me nervous:
