Looks like the eye is gonna come right over the top of us, or to our west, which means we are in for some heavy rains. The town I live in was built on a Mayhaw swamp. I think the same city planners that set up New Orleans must've set up this town. anytime we get more than 2" of rain at a time, town has to shut down.
I happen to be on high ground, (all my rain flows back toward town lol) so I'm not worried about flooding, BUT all 'going to town' is gonna be out of the question once the rain starts.
As long as we maintain electricity to keep the freezers going we'll be fine, and since we are on a rural line that runs from somewhere out in the country, even if power is out in town (and it usually is) we should still have juice.
anyhow, I thought it would be a good opportunity to remind anyone in the path to double check bug-in bags, and batten down the hatches around the house. I'll be working today until the rain starts, then squaring everything away here. It amazes me that people still live in places near town that flood every time something like this goes on... and how many of them seem to be caught unprepared, like "we didn't know there was a hurricane". Last time it flooded here, people woke up in the middle of the night and stepped knee-deep in water... (whats up with that? the forecast said 10" of rain was coming???)
I don't even watch TV and I know theres a storm coming... I'm gonna be ready.
Y'all take care
