Update On Hurricane Irene.

Irene is a Category 3. Here's a snippet. This is cool. NASA. International Space Station. I didn't think they were still up there. How do the Hawthornes prepare for a hurricane? #1 We fill up our trucks with gas, in case we need to leave. But we never leave. #2 We buy gas for the generator. In case the power goes out. Always that possibility. #3 We buy water. Drinking water. We have a test run on the generator with our neighbor and his generator two days before. Planned that for tomorrow, Thursday morning About buying the gas for the generators, we think about it this way: Buy the gas. If you have it, you probably won't need it. If you don't have it, you probably will need it. Now, never worry about the food. The Hawthornes have plenty of food. We have freezers full of food. Oops. Forgot to call the gas company. Just in case I'm low. Note to Rosie: Call Outer Banks Gas tomorrow. Also tomorrow, I'll bring in all my outdoor plants. And that's a total bitch. Then I'll secure all deck furniture. Probably throw everything into the pool. Hurricanes suck. Trust me. Rosie is preparing for a hurricane. So much to do. Edited to add: I just received a comment on this post. Anonymous Mr. P said...

Rosie, You forgot the most important part. You need to make certain that your liquor cabinet is fully stocked.
