Hurricane Central

[cassiesmom]

In Chicago ... Wind speeds 25-35mph with gusts 40mph and up. High waves off Lake Michigan affecting lakefront running/bicycling path as well as northwest Indiana and southwest lower Michigan. Temps in the high 40s all week. I have candles and a flashlight ready in case the power goes out from the wind.

Here in CLE. Power went out and we don't have a generator. Basement is starting to flood because of our sump pump. At least it is unfinished and we have nothing important and we moved our stuff we wanted out upstairs. Wind is very very loud! Unbelievable. I am definitely nervous.

I cannot believe that I have relatives in three states that are impacted by this same hurricane and storm.

My brother who is near you Karen, said all has been fine - some mild wind and rain - and then it was
quiet about a couple of hours ago.

Two nieces in New York City - one is just fine - the younger niece is in college and they are closer to some of the flooding but safe and haven't had to evacuate.

My nephew is in New Haven and all is well for him too.

Thank you God!!!

I pray all of our Pet Talk family is fine as well.

Oh no, this is what I'm worried about, no power, no sump pump! I have my basement as flood ready as it can be. Most likely wouldn't flood bad as my house sits up high, but I can't bail if I'm at work!
