Let's see:
- Front yard is a lake
- There is actually a groundhog eating clover in the front yard in the torrential downpour!
- Back yard is a lake
- Dining room table has the weather radio with new batteries
- Dining room table has electric camp lantern
- Bedroom in the basement which has never been used has fresh linens on the bed and is where we will ride this storm out due to danger of falling trees.
- Ice chest has ice and a few bits of food taken from fridge
- We have all the plastic camp containers filled with water for toilets and washing
- We have a large plastic tub outside filled with water
- Boat is on a trailer and parked in the neighborhood turnaround
- Canoe and kayak have been moved to high ground
- All patio furniture and light stuff have been moved to safety
- I am hoping all this prep means all of us, including you, will be able to ride this one out safely and successfully!
Oh my, I do hope you remain safe. Do let us hear from you as soon as possible. We'll be thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for safe deliverance from the wrath of the Lady irene.
ReplyDeleteBasement beds? With back and front yard already flooded?
The lakes do not bode well for falling trees. We don't have a lake, but we lost a big one.
ReplyDeleteSounds like our house except for the boat positioning. We too will be sleeping in the basement bedroom in fear of falling trees. Stay safe!
ReplyDeletewill be thinking of you and hoping you're okay!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are weathering the storm; you sound prepared for it. Hang in there. Stay away from the trees!
