hurricane, post #27

[usedtobeljs]

Thanks to kind user Rainkatt, who asked...

Yep. My part of the subtropics (northeast of Orlando) is likely going to get slammed by Hurricane Dorian. Fingers crossed, the windspeed shouldn't be Category 4 in my area, but the duration of tropical-storm winds and rain promises a fairly crappy week.

Am I prepared? Ish. Food, water, batteries, one charger ready and another to be charged for when the power goes out -- and it WILL go out. I have a bad feeling I'll lose part of a fence no matter what. My best bud and her husband will once again be kind enough to host me during the storm itself, so that Master Danger and I will have company.

But oh, I hate hurricanes.

As is customary, I link an old story wherein Deepest Deep Anya and Giles ride out a Bermuda storm.

Anyway, more news when I have it!

Fingers crossed that it's less exciting, rather than more. I see that nothing is certain at the moment, which has to be No Fun.

Hugs and hugs!

Nothing is at all certain, and we're hovering between Worst-Case Scenario (one model) and Best-Case (the other major model). Sigh.

All hugs back.

[gwynnega]

Sending good thoughts for riding out the hurricane.

::hugs::

Thank you, Gwynne. I am getting worse at this, I confess. [hugs]

[anne_d]

I was wondering about your area. I hope you stay safe, and I'm glad you and Master Danger won't be alone. *hugs*

[usedtobeljs]

Today's forecast is better, but it's still uncertain. Sigh.

All hugs, A.

[alhbooks]

Oh dear, oh dear...I keep hoping it’s going to skirt your neck of the woods, but so glad you will be prepared and not alone.

All digits crossed for best possible scenario...

[usedtobeljs]

I keep hoping it stays offshore, too! Fingers crossed!

Hugs, ALH.

I was wondering about you and the hurricane. Sending hugs to you and Master Danger. Stay safe.

[usedtobeljs]

Thanks, K! Master Danger and I are encouraged by the latest forecast track, but landfall is still possible.

Hugs back, and happy day (whether you're joining the protests or not)!

[freixenet]

So glad to know where you'll be. You and Master Danger stay safe!

And thank you for the link. I'm in need of some sort of normality this morning!

Hugs, hugs, from across the county.

[usedtobeljs]

Hugs hugs and all good thoughts that this passes without awfulness.

Stay safe, hope it's not as bad as it could be.

Thanks, T! My area had no damage at all, but the poor folk on Abaco and Grand Bahama Islands... :(
