I think We can have a hurrucane party with real Hurricanes and some canned food!

Gee - and we only stocked up on some extra bottled water. This sounds much more appealing.

Hee hee - welcome to the area of the world where the weather is way more interesting!

Best part of a storm where you lose power? Needing to eat all the ice cream before it melts! I will have a root beer float, please!

Latest predictions (guesses, totally) is that Irene may go visit Lady's Human instead of me! It'll be interesting to see what really transpires, but it always is!

OH, you must be a mind reader.

I told my roomie that shoud we ever get caught in a store when the power goes out, I will yell, "Everyone! Get the Ice Cream, before it melts!"

One RBF, Extra Float!

DONE!

Pom,

One Hurricane?

DONE!

This could be the worst flooding in the Northeast since Floyd in 1999. I think I need a hurricane (the kind in a glass.

)

Hey Richard, LH wants to know if we will be following the hurricane with a mudslide. Both sound good to me. I'll start with a Hurricane drink followed by a mudslide chaser.

LOL, I have to look to see if I can find an earthquake recipe?

DONE!

So what is a Tempest in a Teapot?

I just found our (according to the local rag) that I'm "bracing" for irene?

I didn't think I was bracing for anything, just another weekend. Gas for the generator is a constant (we live in the boonies, trees down wires with amazing regularity), so we really don't need to worry about food going bad, or water (well water) or cooking ( we have a gas stove anyway).....I don't understand this "bracing" deal.

I guess I 'll have a hurricane or three while I'm bracing.

Unless they're talking about splicing the main brace, in which case I'm IN!

...sigh....

"Major Hurricane Irene is bearing down on the East Coast and will be unlike any storm residents from North Carolina to New England have ever seen."

This is from the WEATHER CHANNEL, not some off their rocker reporting organization. They're saying it will totally surpass Floyd (which I vividly remember from 1999). I'm really NOT looking forward to this.

As far as provisions? The wine cellar is full-180 bottles strong. I think we'll be OK.

Wine and....let's see, what do we need to eat from the 'fridge...CHERRY CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM!! On the bar!

**Catty1** · 08-25-2011, 09:38 PM

Be safe everyone!

I'm headed for your house, Maggie. Your liquid provisions sound much more interesting than my bottled water, juice, and soda!

Time to clean out the fridge!

**happylabs** · 08-26-2011, 08:10 AM

Even though it is only 9:07 a.m., I need one of those hurricane drinks NOW. What a day, what a week!

Daughter off to college, a last minute gal. Yesterday...I need books mom. LATER she calls...I got a parking ticket mom. I need a parking permit. This is her 4th and final year AMEN! I am traveling to see her this weekend and some things straightened out. I love my child, I love my child, I love my child...

Yes, one of those mudslides for later too. Then we can all go outside and slide around in the mud for real.
