greenacres, I'll have to get one that'll have room for my one, so there should still be plenty of space for your three .........hubby's only getting an oil barrel  :D

mart, you won't have to fish me out of the Atlantic but you may have to dig me out from under a lot of 30 and 40 ft trees. ;)

Some signs of it veering a little more eastward as it comes this way.....that would be a blessing.

The eye is tracking a wee bit east of Bermuda now and with the weekend ahead of us, maybe it'll just meander off into the open ocean. Fingers crossed.

Did  send a reminder to daughter to stow her scooter somewhere safe or she could be spending some time looking for it.  ;)

One way or the other.......he will fit  ;D

I keep a sharp eye on those damn twisters......hubby's cousin moved to Mississippi. Believe me, I've learned more place names/locations in the last couple of years.  Constantly googling 'where' when there's a threat.......so I can figure out how close and how much I should worry. Just gave her a shout out last week with Isaac threatening.  She messaged me back that she was comfy and safe........visitin g back home in Cape Breton, NS.  ;)

Well we can breathe easier here. Other than heavy rain and high winds which is just starting, mostly from a system coming from the west and picking up moisture from Ol' Leslie, she is skirting us and tracking northeast.

If you know anyone in Eastern Newfoundland wish them 'safe passage' as Leslie is hitting them dead on, with Michael on her heels. It's not going to be a quick pass over as they're both moving slowly. They were hit like this in 2010 and it was not good.

Time to go out and move the vehicles closer to the house and hoping the power lines are still up in the air when I come home from work. ;)
