We got through hurricane Gustav without any real problems, and it didn’t even give my area any rain whatsoever. Now there’s Ike. Ike is a category 2 hurricane right now, but is supposed to strengthen as it gets closer, and supposedly it’s headed straight for us. I’m less than thrilled. Ike has already killed 80 people in the Carribean. We haven’t seen a big hurricane here in years, so like I’ve been saying for quite some time, we’re due for it. I went to the store this morning to get some bottled water and canned stuff as well as some other non perishables. If we are going to be stuck in a hurricane I’ve got to be prepared. I’ve also got to be prepared in case we have to head out of here. I’m so not looking forward to this. Good thing I have tons of candles and a battery operated can opener, though. Just in case.
