Thoughts: I went ahead and did my UBWO as well as a make up session of 3/4 LBWO this morning. Last night I cooked as much of my perishable food as I could in preparation for the storm, did my laundry, packed an evacuation bag, and made some plans for today. I’ll be securing my desktop computer and electronics inside my interior closet today, taping my windows, putting down towels at my entries, and moving my furniture away from my windows and balcony doors.

If the hurricane’s path in the current forecasts are accurate, the eye of the storm will pass southwest of my location, and unfortunately, my apartment is on the top floor of the building and faces south. I expect to get a lot of wind and water battering on my windows directly. I DO plan to either drive north to my parents’ house this afternoon and stay with them through Monday, or possibly just head downstairs to my co-worker’s north-facing first floor apartment and hang out there until the storm passes. I’m a bit torn about this because I’d like to be with my family, but they live 20 miles away and I might have a tough time getting back to my place to check the damage and possibly get to work on Tuesday. It would be a lot more convenient to just stay with the co-worker (especially since I need to bring my cats with me) so I can run upstairs to see if my roof is still there (and I’m within walking distance of the office), but I’d worry about my family. Another option is to stay with my dbf about 3 miles away, but he has a dog who is twitchy during storms ( and this will be a 24 hour stretch), and my cats have never been around a pooch.

Stupid hurricane.
