Irma

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I just want to let our doodlekisses friends living in Irma's path, that we are thinking of them and hoping Irma dwindles down to not-much before hitting Florida.  We wish you blue skies.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

May all of our friends be safe.

I hope Irma has a surprise turn to sea.

Praying for Irma to do a 180 and head back out to sea! Stay safe all!

Hoping that all our friends and doodles are safe!

Thank you Nancy and everyone! This morning they are saying it will stay east of us but will still be a significant impact. It's just still so uncertain. Went to the store for more water this morning but shelves were empty. Yesterday a woman in my neighborhood had water in her cart and stepped away to reach for eggs, someone stole the water from her cart! There's a bit of a panic going on. I collected all our extra dog bowls and filled them with water, then put them in the freezer. Gotta think of those beloved fur babies!

I liked the preparedness list that was posted on FB.  Water is always a concern of mine. I wonder if people put tap water into any containers (including the bathtub) they have before the storm hits so that they could use bottled water when that supply was gone or contaminated?

[Bonnie and Kona]

Yes, we did that when we were in earthquake country. It is easy and cheap!

I grew up in Miami.  My mother always included sanitizing the bathtub and filling it with water in preparing for a hurricane.   We feel the effects of these storms in S. E. Virginia.  I fill several large waste cans with water for flushing the toilet and we stock up on bottled water.  We have well water so no electricity, no water in the plumbing.

Wow...the things you have to think about.  So scary and the aftermath is unthinkable.  We had floods here in our town from a steady rainfall which our storm sewers could not handle...and the damage from the waters was incredible.  Now, add wind, debris ,losing your whole house full of treasures and having to leave your home...I'm not sure I could go through more than one experience.
