Hurricane Matthew
9 years ago
General
Folks are worried so I'll try and give a quick rundown.
We're prepared. We have food and water and a generator and all of the batteries charged. During Charlie twelve years ago the house fared well. I am rather worried that we're going to suffer damage to our aging roof, but there's little we can do about it now beyond praying and patching.
Obviously, I have no idea how this will affect Kitties. Kitties is three weeks away and some change and if we lose power and internet it will hopefully be restored by then. During Charlie we were without power for about a day and without internet for about a week or so. So all things said Kitties should not be affected by this.
They're predicting 75mph winds starting at about 2AM and continuing to about 7PM on Friday. We'll try to stay nestled in and safe and as soon as I am able to poke the public and give an "I'm okay" update I will. Although as a note, most of the deaths in Florida from hurricanes occur when people decide to go walkies in the wind and are hit by trees and power lines. We're staying put.
The most that will come out of this is what I will pop up after it passes and start planning for a marathon to help me replace my roof. Pray I do not.
Hurricanes are also unpredictable creatures. It could still veer away, or we could get the brunt of it. But remember that I live inland and hurricanes die and weaken quickly when they go aground, so we're still better off than the people on the coast.
Bunkering down. See you on the other side.
