Another Day, Another Hurricane

It's hurricane season and they're starting to speed up.  We have our eye on Irma, they say it will be mid-week before they really know where she's going.  It's been 11 months since Matthew hit us and we escaped with mostly minor damage, though lots of tree damage.  Fingers crossed on this one.
After the holiday we need to head to the store, stock up on bottled water and batteries.
Learned our lesson last year and I now have a car charger for my cell phone.
Also learned that I should have a packet of important papers too, passports, insurance papers, birth certificates--anything that it's a pain to replace.
I hope this storm goes nowhere near Texas or Louisiana, but it's certainly beginning to look like it's going to hit the States somewhere.

    I hope it turns and leaves, too. Fingers crossed for all of you.

    We're here in Texas hoping it will spare the East side of the country. Hopefully out to sea and not another hit. We'll be saying prayers for your safety.

    Hopefully it won't hit land at all and fizzle out in the sea. Take care.

    I hope it goes straight back out over the Atlantic and blows itself out. I'm in Florida and will be wanting to return to SC the end of next week and I don't want to be stuck somewhere inbetween either. Out town just got the last two signs replaced from Matthew about two weeks ago, the motel and the laundromat. Sheesh.

    I hope it makes a sudden turn north and fizzles out over the Atlantic. Stay safe.

    On our News at tea time they said Florida. It must be quite terrifying living in the path of Hurricanes. Hope this one misses you altogether.

    Crossing fingers that she makes a sharp right turn and heads out of the zone.

    We are looking at Irma coming to visit us in S. FL next weekend. I have put away yard things this afternoon and am laundering everything in the house. Keep your fingers crossed, please.

    I'm still hoping that Irma will decide to take the turn into the North Atlantic! We stocked up on water, non-perishable food, candles, and batteries. Still need to assemble those important papers. Fingers crossed for us all!
