I have to tell you, knowing what the g-stores are like on the Cape during tourist season, I would be scared to go in while preparing for a hurricane. ;) I was in NC for Bertha, Fran and Floyd clipped us in Philly for a good deal of flooding. Hopefully the cooler water will bring the cat back down for you. Eat a brownie for me. :)scargosunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911826980781124597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121175953658827634.post-39919273248608397122010-09-02T09:07:19.814-04:002010-09-02T09:07:19.814-04:00stay safe!!!! being a midwest girl my whole life, ...stay safe!!!! being a midwest girl my whole life, hurricanes scare the poo outta me!!! enjoy the brownies and keep us updated as you canLisa Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895762022312960022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121175953658827634.post-26046399343370555282010-09-02T09:03:00.335-04:002010-09-02T09:03:00.335-04:00I can not imagine waiting out a hurricane BUT I am...I can not imagine waiting out a hurricane BUT I am a wimp and fraidy cat...tornado season here in Okla raises my anxiety level to new heights...<br /><br />Hope you all stay safeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13755834803574964576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121175953658827634.post-79083912098332704482010-09-02T07:54:51.504-04:002010-09-02T07:54:51.504-04:00I'm just glad I'm not in the Outer Banks a...I'm just glad I'm not in the Outer Banks anymore! <br /><br />I'm so used to these weather fools playing it up too much.

My grandfather is still there, but I think my Dad may go get him tonight. My friend Megan is going to try and bring her laptop to the beach on Friday and SKYPE with us - my son is HUGE into weather and he is wishing he could be there, we don't get too many hurricanes in Atlanta!<br />BTW, do you know the Tavares up in Ogunquit? I met their son Matt this year when he did an author visit at my school and we went up to visit him & his family this summer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844867871179578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121175953658827634.post-12467297010471492502010-09-02T06:12:56.971-04:002010-09-02T06:12:56.971-04:00I'll be thinking about you and hoping that it ...I'll be thinking about you and hoping that it just blows over.<br /><br />Haha, get it?

Husband is bringing in all the loose yard stuff tonight and then we wait. We lived in Maine during Bob, but my parents had their boat at Monument Beach and it did end up on the beach. I cannot believe Matt stayed with his boat, very scary! Let's hope for the best!<br /><br />I did laugh at the weather man this morning..."just get through friday and you will be able to enjoy your weekend and have good weather for cleanup".Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402127593274759760noreply@blogger.com
