I stocked up on water and canned goods. The projected path is pretty wide. I’ve been tracking its movements. Right now, it’s down to 65MPH, which is a good thing, but it’s expected to hit as a category one hurricane on Friday.
We made it through Gaston, a few years back. That one was called a tropical storm but got upgraded to a category one after the fact. It didn’t do us much damage, other than knocking our power out for several days and tearing up some trees and killing a laptop (electrical surge. Insurance covered it). Others we knew were harder hit; it was a very selective storm. But, this time around, I’m a lot more eager to load up the Explorer and get out of Dodge if it starts to look, well, dodgy. I’m hitting Lowes tomorrow for some plywood, if there’s any left.
