Tropical Storm Fay...

Yes, we are currently under "tropical storm warning" and a "flash flood watch" for the upcoming days. Our televisions have been stuck on the weather channel for the past few days. Just watching and waiting, wondering if Fay will change directions. It seems that it won't for now, which is good.

What it means for us? Well, it means we are still getting LOTS of rain and wind gusts up to 45 mph, which will probably result in flash floods and maybe some downed trees or power lines. However, the eye of the storm is not coming to us. Our beaches will have erosion as the tide is high at noon already and it is about 2 feet higher than normal. (Too bad, I really wanted to spend some quality time at the beach)

But, no worries everyone. I am prepared for the power to go out (totally stocked up on batteries) and I have our hurricane survival kit and a full tank of gas. I am 98% sure we will not have to evacuate, but just in case I am ready! Just wanted you to all know that we are okay and just getting as much inside house work done as possible. Us "northern folks" know how to make it through a few days without power and severe storms if need be...hey, we even have MRE's if we get desperate! Thanks hubby for bringing those home:-)

tata for now,

Annie
