The Wind...She's ablowin'

I hope this post finds you all safe and dry. I am sitting here watching the winds come and go. It has been only in the past 30 minutes or so that these winds have become strong. We still have power and cable so far. I guess all the tree cutting in our neighborhood may have helped even though the trees look awful. I assume that is the price we all pay for living in this modern world.
Our meeting has been postponed until September 20 at the same church on Montague. I hope you all will attend. Unfortunately I will be in Salt Lake City that whole week on an Ancestry Seekers Workshop. 

To Stay or to Leave...That is the Scary Question

This is the latest forecast track for Hurricane Irma. It is not looking great for the U.S. Let's hope it veers away for any landfall. It is very scary. We stayed for Hugo and swore we would not do that again. So stay safe and if you have friends/family away from our coast go for a visit as soon as you can. I have made up a list of things my husband and I are planning on doing before escaping the storm You can take them for what they are worth and I pray that we do not have to do them.
1. Make sure you have a full tank of gasoline...remember Floyd.
2. Get some cash from your bank. The electricity will be out for a while.
3. Take pictures of all of your possessions. This is for insurance purposes. Also take a picture if you can of the front page of today's newspaper so you have a verification of the date you took them.
4. Charge your phones.
5. Back up your computers.
6. Unplug all unnecessary electrics.
7. Pack enough clothes (at least a week's worth).
8. Fill your tub with water so you can flush your commode when you get back.
9. Make sure you have enough of your medicines.
10. And pick up stuff out of your yards. You do not want them turning into missile.

In other business: I did not see that our meeting time had been included on the flyer. My apologies to the "committee." I hope we do not have to deal with this storm but if she comes our way please stay safe.
