Dorian

We've been ordered to evacuate because the road into our neighborhood is likely to flood, but our house should be fine at 10+ feet above sea level.  Shutters are down, car is mostly loaded, generator packed.  We'll pull out in the morning and wait for this storm to turn north as the predictions say.

We are so blessed.  I have a childish curiosity to go to a shelter, but I wouldn't want to actually be stuck there or expose the kids to any risk.  So we will go hang out with relatives in cinder block homes that are so kind to let us land with them.

Florida!

In other news, we went to the beach Saturday and I jumped around in the waves like a teenager or something and had so much fun.  Hurricanes are harsh, but so are snow storms.  I remember a bad snow storm when I was in high school.  We lost power for days and could only hike out of the neighborhood.
