Irma or Harvey, what are you?

We need to find you someone to come barreling into your town. 

Yes!  STAT!

(thanks for the use of your vernacular Jaimie.  I still won't use besterest and all that other crap). ;-)

You understood the Q....Harry....;))

LOL!  Thank you dear.  And thank you for best answer. :-*

Agree Baba;))

Patchouli, I think you should pretend you're not home so she will leave when you don't answer her knock.

Seriously, I hope you're okay.  As with Thrifty, sending positive thoughts your way.  Please stay safe and let us know if you're okay when you can.

And eat some cake!         

Sighhh take care Patchouli....hope Irma goes away leaving you unharmed!

Did you ever evacuate?  We were pretty much forced to.  I'm in Orlando now and should be OK.  Stay safe!

No, lots of other people in the area are being forced to, but I should be safe enough where I am. It's mostly people in mobile homes and on lower grounds that have to evacuate.

Did you atleast get some supplies?
Unfortunately for me, the hordes have already ravaged all the stores and I couldn't get much. It's a good thing I have a huge candle collection, though.

Everything was gone from the stores Sunday night/Monday noonish.  I happened to be in a store Tuesday when water pallets were being brought in and grabbed 13 cases.  There are two of us and I have to drink more than what is considered normal.  I bought good breads, peanut butter, fruits, veggies we like raw, chocolate. I'm on the West side and hoping we don't get the surge.  I decided not to bolt when the forecast changed to an East Coast landing but now the forecasts are all over the place.  I could not find gasoline either until tonight.  That's part of why I didn't leave.   I will say my county EMS did not open shelters or provide sand bags because they don't think we will get the storm surge.  They advised for everyone to Shelter In Place.  I don't know why they can't just say Stay Home.  :)  Stay safe!

I think I'm gonna stay and just hope it doesn't get too bad. They're suggesting evacuation here, but it's not mandatory. Atleast I got my car filled up before all the gas disappeared. But the only good food I can find was canned fish so I stocked up on those.

I hope you aren't in Jacksonville.....it looks like major flooding there.  Think about you.............

Thoughts and prayers are with you and Patchouli. Stay safe and please keep us posted when you can.

Thanks.  Will do. :)

Sending positive thoughts your way Thrifymaid!  As Lyrical states, please let us know if you're okay when you can.

Take care thriftymaid......hope all is well with you!

My thoughts are with you and yours Thriftymaid. ;)
