Firefighter Phreddie suggests that's maybe *NOT*
a gud idea!

Save the "Candle Lighting" till AFTER the storm is OVER -
use a Battery Flashlight DURING the storm. PLEASE!

An Open Flame from a candle or an oil lamp can be an
extreme hazard IF the wind breaks a window, blows open a door,
or damages the roof...

A knocked-over candle or oil lamp could set your house on FIRE -
about the LAST thing you need to have happen!

Play it SAFE ~
AFTER the wind dies down - do some *SNIFFIN* -
to be sure you don't smell any natural Gas or spilled Gasoline...
THEN "Light the Candles" (or oil lamps) -
and NEVER leave them un-attended by an Adult.

Better *SAFE* than sorrie!

oops I am busted.
I have a really good story though. NO batteries...LOTS of flashlights and not a single fresh battery - except for the remote controls and digital camera!!! ....so hubby is presently out buying some AND I lit candles in the inside bathroom - no windows, where we decided to grab the kitties and take cover and look at each other like total idiots. Soooo if and when the storms return - we are ready! Thanks Phred. I will take that scolding

Sure wish I had a battery and internet hookup for my laptop in the bathroom ...my biggest concern was no PetTalk!!! What is wrong with this picture??

Well, I hope you guys can give me a heads up I haven't even had rain today some yesterday, but none yet. I wonder if it will "dissapear" before it hits me. Crossing fingers and claws.
