Cat 3.... Maybe 4?

The original forecast a few days ago was a category 1 hurricane on Thursday. That was all fun and games. Now, however, with a forecast of a category 4 storm tomorrow, folks have gotten serious. Window boards are going up and supplies laid in. We got an extra 5 gallon jug of water and some more non-refrigerator food.

Starting at 6:00 am this morning we closed up the shutters in our apartment. I would love to show you a picture of De Anne hanging out of a second floor window to unhook the shutters, but that was not happening because I was busy holding on to her legs.

We moved all the porch furniture and the grill inside, then helped Lucia.

Covering the front window.

Before the grill came in, a lobster dinner.

The power company will be shutting down the power soon, so dear reader - see you on the backside of the storm, hopefully just a few days away.
