Not really. I think most of this big, fat hurricane is going to miss Durham and Raleigh. We're far enough inshore that we'll only get a lot of rain and wind.
I did do some preparation- I have a flashlight with batteries. My MP3 player is fully charged up (it has a radio built in) and I have enough food prepared for about four meals, plus a couple that don't need to be prepared beforehand. I have water frozen-about 120 ounces or so. Without power, I could probably hold out for about 4 to 5 days (I don't expect it'll be longer than 2 at most.)
I just have to take a shower and that'll be it (wanna be clean when the lights go out tomorrow morning.) No point in keeping water in the bathtub or the sink-it'll just run out anyway and I still have bug problems. Besides, this isn't going to go on that long.
Let Irene come. I'm ready. My very first hurricane.
I also got my Chris Thile ticket today, and I taped it to the lamp on my dresser. Don't want to lose it now that I have it-I have a good seat. Row E! In the orchestra pit!
Might be a couple days before I post again. I suspect we'll lose power.
Here she comes!
Ta,
Bec
