These are the kind of times that make me want to sell my house and head west...west to fires and earthquakes no doubt but this weather scares the dickens out of me. I've done everything I could think of to make riding out this storm an easy ride. I have water, food, portable radio, camping light, matches, a full tank of gas, emergency numbers, meds, money, important papers, storm doors in place, the laundry all done, a sleeping bag in case it gets really cold, plastic for the windows....God help me if I have to use it......the staple gun for the plastic. Again, God help me if I have to use it. I'll probably have a stroke trying to deal w/that kind of emergency. Everything from the yard is inside, including hoses and hose reels, clothes line etc. etc. I tried to think of everything. The only thing I couldn't bring inside are the 40 - 50' trees in front of my neighbor's house that always worry me when we have high winds. If they fall my way, they're going to take out my power lines.
I know I'm being a chicken but sometimes, it sure isn't fun when you're alone.
