Hurricane/Tropical Storm Fay


So, here I am on the eve of my first Florida hurricane. Although is it just a tropical storm? I've lived through these before in Virginia, but a Florida hurricane just has more excitement to it. A level of severity that a "Virginia hurricane" could never have. School is already canceled here tomorrow (yes, school is already in; it started today). Joe is in Arkansas, but thankfully got on a standby flight home tonight. Not that we need him to protect us (ok, maybe a little), but he would have been stuck there for days with canceled flights, etc. Yeah, so we have our protector. But what does one to do prepare? We have water and flash lights. But no generator or storm radio. We have lots of frozen food, but that will likely spoil if we lose power. So much for preparing for it like a snow storm. I'm sure this whole thing will just resemble a cool thunder storm. But there is something about the excitement that I love. Let's just hope, this is not what we see coming towards us tomorrow.
