This is the first day in my life that Linda has ever turned the TV on in the morning. We did not even turn it on after the earthquake hit since it would have been old news. She figured she better watch the weather since we are in the midst of a hurricane warning. It's 100 miles out from shore. The beaches have been evacuated, and the news just said it will be a "historic storm surge." We don't have the hurricane supply kit that the news is recommending. We do have 3 cans of dog food and 4 cans of cat food although that wasn't on the list. There is about 30 pounds of dry food left, so I know we won't be starving. If we lose power, Linda has her new ginormous torch flashlight (she better check if there is batteries though) so no problem there. People are buying bottled water, but I bet the shelves are already empty. She'll check today between classes and see if she can find a few emergency bottles. Since we are far from the beach, it will only be a Tropical Storm at our house, so it could just be a wet weekend and not dangerous. We don't have raincoats, so Linda found this great idea to make us raincoats out of grocery bags! It looks like they forgot to leave a little opening for him to do his business.
