I went to bed early last night, thinking we would get woke up but it didn't happen. I slept through the night. Woke up awhile ago and was surprised at how things are. It didn't rain much and the wind gusts are only about 30mph right now. They say on the local news that conditions will start getting worse in several hours. The guys are taking our cars and things to a nearby store parking lot out from under the trees around us here right now, hoping they will be safer there. We are on the bad side of the storm and Rie's hubby says we will see worse here than we did for Katrina or Andrew so he wanted the cars away from here.

So far, we are safe and happy.. we will see how it goes throughout the day. As you see, we still have power as of 7 am...
