we made it!

That was not fun, but not nearly as bad as we expected.   The worst of it was east of us.  It rained for about 20 hours and in the middle of the night the wind was so bad we couldn't sleep.  We lost power but it's back on now.  We only got about 4 inches of rain.  No flooding!  We don't haf to go live wif the woofie!

I did not go UTB -- I stayed wif mama the whole time.  When she sat, I sat on her.  When she laid down, I laid down on her.  I don't mind telling you I was skeered!

There are a lot of places wif power out, and lots of trees down, but it looks okay where we are.  The power is out in the main area of our little town.

We are all watching the birds and squirrels now, they haf come back out.  Earlier Kit and I gave each ofur a baf.

Mama is just going to stay put today, stay off the road and let the tree removal people do their job and wait for the traffic lights to come back on.  So we are hafing a cozy day togefur!

Thanks to all of you for your good wishes and purrs.  We feel like we got off pretty easy.  Other people were not so lucky and we are purring for them.

We are all hunkering down, getting ready for the hurricane.  We are getting pretty nervous, the TV and FEMA people say it's going to be bad.  We haf water, canned food, flashlights, and batteries.  And of course mama stocked up on cat food!

We don't usually lose power during big storms acause our power lines are underground, but mama doesn't really know what to expect this time acause of flooding.  They said that the ground is already saturated so flooding is likely.  I hope water doesn't come in our house!  If that happens, we will pack up and go to mama's sister's house in West Virginia.  She has a woofie and I don't want to go there!

The storm is supposed to hit us around 6:00 tonight, get worst at 2:00 am, and last for up to 24 hours.  Yikes!  I think I will be UTB.  Wish us luck, efurryone!
