Frankenstorm
Big storm possibly hitting our east coast friends. Will it really be as bad as they say? Or does the news over hype stuff?
What do you do to prepare? What is the worst one you have been in?
Our longest without power was four days during an ice storm.ΓΒ We are much better prepared now.
And we may need to activate the Gymbos Emergency Notification System. For newbies, basically ya gotta give a tweet or post saying all is well. We worry about our fellow gymbo family members.

i made beef stew today
old fashion way
on the stove
usually i crockpot it
but dd and dh were out til one a.m. at a school thing

storm preps…
clean up yard of anything that will fly
check supplies of water, food, flashlights/batteries
first storm to try out generator; made sure it runs, got extra gas
charge technology
keep all laundry and dishes washed (do that regularly anyway)
watch alot of theweatherchannel to stay on top of storm news
pray everyone is safe and we don’t lose internet
last year’s Irene was scarey because the news showed her hitting us from the south of our county. we evacuated to a hotel further north and inland for two days. and we NEVER leave home; we prepare and hunker. so for dh to make reservations and say we’re going…that made me more nervous than anything. Irene didn’t hit land where originally projected. all was well when we got home, but we agreed the peace of mind was worth going. we just aren’t likely to do it again.
I don’t think our electric has ever been off more than 3-4 hours. you have to plan anyway, but…hopefully we’ll be ok this time too.

Hi everyone!
Frankenstorm is right! lol cute post!
we are as prepared as we can be. have generator, flashlights, plenty of food, laundry done, gas stove and water heater, which were a blessing last year with the storm we had we had no electric for 7 days! and it was cold! thanks goodness we have a gas heater in cellar! but we got a generator by third day and so we were able to save all the food etc. this year much better prepared! we also of course put everything inside we could, tied down what we couldn’t . closed all the storm windows and took out all the window air conditioners which I had to do anyway, then I got the pumps ready in the cellar and made sure everything down there was at least hip high! unplugged all appliances down there except the chest freezer. and then after all that my guy had bought rotisserie chicks for dinner so I didn’t have to cook! and I ended up making home made chicken soup from the left overs for tonight! lol wow the news is on and it’s saying it’s going to be worse then they thought! wonderful..(dripping sarcasm there can you tell?) if we lose power no biggy but if we also lose cable I wont be able to let you now what’s going on as I do not have internet on my phone. so don’t worry if you don’t hear from me, we will be fine. we are ready.
and MOMS? with my cameras up I will get to watch the storm from inside this time! should be interesting! and if I can figure out how to do a video clip of it I will send it for you to post after! IF ..I am still challenged by the program..sigh…
to all of you in the path of the storm, stay safe! HUGS!

oh yeah and I installed a water alarm in the basement for got to tell you that!
they just said the winds are 90 MPH now in center and bearing down on NY and NJ.
wow scarey we have never gotten anything like this before! and the wind is blowing here already with gusts up to 29 MPH already..wow..it looks like the outside right hand side of the center will just hit us.. not good.. not good. the biggest thing I am worried about is the trees coming down. three of them right over the top of our home..that worries me. oh well if it happens it happens and we will deal with it.
will check in later if I can.

Hello!!!!!! power came back a bit ago; scrambling to catch up all things requiring electricity. haven’t had chance to follow weather channel about what’s going on with the storm.
did I mention we lost power around 10:50 ’cause an army truck hit a pole? turned out there was another vehicle involved and there were 2 poles, then dd2 said it was three poles! no wonder it took so long to fix.
will read up blog to see what I missed
64 gramma said,

Just checking in to say hi and say that all is well for me here at Harvard. Classes were cancelled today (Harvard NEVER cancels classes). I’ve been staying in and around the dorm all day so I haven’t ventured out into town. A large tree branch fell near where I’m living but that was all. Not too many trees where my dorm is thankfully. And no loss of power. I hope everyone else is doing well too!

I have two windows in my dorm room, and one never gets hit by rain, except right now. I opened it to try and close my storm window, but that wasn’t happening, so I just shut it again. Some wind was coming in earlier through that window and moving the window shade but it just calmed down some. I’m doing some homework now and am about to bond with some of my friends who live right next to me and watch a movie soon. Stay safe everyone!

G’morning!! went to bed when I left here last night; winds were cranking up; prayed; fell asleep and didn’t know anything til I woke up a little while ago. clocks are blinking, so electric was out or glitched last night; but electric is working now and so is Comcast. back later when I can see what outside looks like and get some updates from … somewhere
thank you all for the prayers!! Γ’β’Β₯

Power finally came back on, sooo lucky there though FFQ and I made sure to charge all devices and my BF stopped at the store for food stuffs on the way home.. so we were as ready as we could be fast.
While the lights were out, my BF went downstairs to check the sump pump and when passing the back sliding glass door he heard a kitten cry.. he asked me about it so I went down to the landing as as far I knew there were no little kittens on the back porch. I heard something but checked the garage kitties, not them, not the downstairs kitty… then I heard a kitten scream, lol, very loudy.. my bf stepped out on the porch with a flash light and had me come out too.. yep, there was a small ball of fluff… out of reach, of course…
So he moves the containers and I get climbing shoes on and a smaller flash light.. and have him help me onto a table out there so I could climb over to get to the kitten… so gross spider webs and such.. and in the dark with the storm going on…. I get her and look for others… she was the only one there. Maybe her mom was moving her kittens there.. not sure, no others have been moved there yet.
I bring the tiny kitten in, she is about 2 – 2-1/2 weeks old, barely wobbly, eyes open and the ears are starting to unfold, gorgeous grey brown tabby with perfect dark rings around her tail. She has a HUGE voice though. FFQ held her while I made formula and got the bottle ready. She ate up well, nursed like a pro.
Ezzy isn’t sure what she thinks of this tiny creature, lol but she keeps coming to sniff her and watch her. After eating twice, she fell asleep on me and was all squirmy. I thought she was still awake but when I lifted her off of me (she was nestled in the shirt I wore to get her off the porch) and I had her laying back in the shirt in my hand and she was dreaming, big time. What could a tiny bit of fluff be dreaming about that would cause her to wave her hands and feet around and twitch and grab at her hands with her mouth?
FFQ videod this, just too cute to not, and I wrapped her up more in the shirt and she finally stopped twitching so much. Put her in the box and she has been asleep since, quite some time now.
I am sure as soon as I lay down to sleep she will wake and want to eat again, lol

G’morning Krafty! glad to hear everything is ok out your way too! and congrats on the new kitty! π
still can’t see outside, but soon
of all the news/weather I watched last night, did I miss the part about the storm broke up when she landed on us?? such a conflict of info. explains why wind would sound like ‘uh oh, this is it’, then nothing. I know there are huge messes and our barrier islands and other areas took a beating, but locally the storm could have been much worse. I’ll know more as the day goes on.

gramma – so glad i could help!
when they said it was calmer in your place, national news was saying that was the eye of the storm …
it sounded like your news was saying different things than ours was though

the devestation is so widespread on the national news – it’s heartbreaking
we are expecting gusts 35-40 mph but that’s all

We were thinking of naming the kitty Sandy but now thinking Hurrykane.. cause she is loud and even at her young age is on the move and thinking trouble will ensue when she is fully mobile

one gutter guard blew off, that’s it. tons of leaves, small twigs; nothing big.
moms, confusion about ‘eye’ was prior to storm getting here weather people were saying this would not be a typical hurricane with an ‘eye’. wasn’t expecting any ‘calm’, only intense wind. so happy storm had eye afterall. π

Just woke up and getting ready for class. Blue skies here. Weird since I was expecting more rain. It’s probably coming, but the worst has passed for us. Will be interesting to see if there’s lots of branches down in Harvard Yard. Although they might have already cleared stuff away.
