Gini's right about trying to maintain your composure if only not to freak out those dear dogs. You know how they can pick up on your "vibes". I'm keeping a candle in the window for all of you in Bonnie & Charlie's path. I've always found the water danger (especially when the ground is already saturated) can do more harm than even the wind. If driving DO NOT TRY TO DRIVE THROUGH STANDING WATER. DON'T DON'T DON'T. Sometimes staying put is the best thing unless advised to evacuate. I've been through several hurricanes and you have every reason to feel fear, just keep faith and try to maintain control. Check back in when you can... you too DDMom.
