Not that we're not social down here in Florida, but we can do without the company of Ike or Josephine, thank you very much.

I think Hanna is pretty much on course to go up the Atlantic and unfortunately might be paying a visit to those of you in the Carolina's.  So I'm hoping she'll tame down before she arrives.

But we're not sure yet what Ike or Josephine will end up doing.  This 5 day projection for Ike looks like it might be headed toward Florida.  But of course, these are always pretty iffy until it gets closer.

We're all set here.  We have a generator that will power both our house and my writers studio.  We also have plenty of battery operated lanterns, flashlights, etc.  Since we stock up on everything when we shop (because we only leave the island to do major shopping once every 3 weeks or so) we'll have plenty of food in the freezer, fridge and cabinets.  Also....our home is at 22 feet elevation.  A real plus living on an island!  It would have to be a mighty powerful storm for us to get flooded here at our house. 

So all we can do is hope all three will end up dissipating and just go away.  If all else fails and it's a Cat 4 heading this way, we made plans when we moved here that we'd evacuate to a pet friendly hotel away from the hurricane.  The kitties in their cat carriers and Duncan and Brie.  The fish........I think they could survive without food for a few days.  

But I think we'll be just fine and I'm wishing that for the rest of Florida and up the eastern seaboard.

See you here next time.............
