Ugh ... I guess I'll lie around and sweat. Yuck. Once the daylight hits, I can read and I can run the laptop until the battery dies. The last time that I was without power for a significant amount of time, I was 10 and we lost power for two days during a blizzard. We mostly played board games by candlelight - I guess I could give that a try.

If the power is out for too long, we'll leave town. We live in an area without a lot of big trees, which is what usually kills the power - so we should luck out. Even if it does hit, our area is supposed to have winds under 50 mph.

To tell the truth - hurricanes are scary and I've evacuated from one when I lived in SC, but you know they're coming so it isn't as bad as the tornadoes that we used to get in Ohio. Although, at least we had a basement there - I swear my mom used to make us spend half the summer in the basement because of the tornado watches.

One of my sisters is still afraid of thunderstorms - she used to drive me nuts with it when we were kids. I was always more of a storm watcher than the hide-in-the-basement type.

It might have been amusing, if she hadn't always tried to crawl into bed with me whenever it stormed. She's a kicker.

It's not supposed to hit until tomorrow - and it isn't a hurricane yet. The outer bands are supposed to hit around 7:00 CDT and the eye is supposed to make landfall at around noon. Unless it misses us entirely.
