Thanks. We have been told to expect flooding for sure. I just pray no
storm surge happens. I didn't even know what a "storm surge" was until a
few days ago. Thanks, Wikipedia. Furniture has been moved and stacked,
and today the hurricane shutters are going on. We just had our sea wall
replaced not even 2 weeks ago, and thank God for that because the old one
was a ticking time bomb waiting for one good storm. It never would have
held up. Crazy as it sounds, I wish I was there to help DH, but I'd have
to bring DD too and that's just too risky. So, I sit here and fret.
