The house is ready. Tubs are full of water for flushing toilets. Plenty of gas for the gen and LP for cooking. The truck has just under 100 gal of fuel and Mrs SP's ride is full too. Some family is here with us until the storm passes. We are further inland (25 mi) than they are. With the latest update we are still in the Tropical Storm winds zone.
    Be safe SP. Let us know that you made it safe and sound.

    Will do. Just finished tucking in the kids and let the dogs out for a last time tonight. I can still see stars and the wind is at about 15.

    Update,

    Storm has passed. All is well. We were only out of power for 12 hours. I didn't bother running the generator. I was really too far inland to experience the real heavy stuff. No damage to anything. I have a lot of branches to clean up. Everyone in the neighborhood, and family is equally ok. Someone in the neighborhood put the "You Loot, We Shoot" sign out in front of the dirt road. We have had no problems. I went over to the coast, and they have no power, and there are a lot of trees down, but overall, everything seems ok.

    Mrs. Sparky is frying up some gator tail to celebrate the power coming back on. I'll be around after dinner.

    All good at the S.P. Homestead. We never lost power. The wind never realy got bad either. We had a few dead limbs blow out of the cabage tree but that's it.
