Thanks Chris!<br>We're bugging out to a safer place here in town in the AM (I am avbout 120 miles from landfall). Peanut is staying put, and if it hadn't been for the winds across I-55, we would have gone over to join him at his place.<br>But now that this thing is upon us, it is interesting how your planningkicks into high gear (no pun intended...). How much gear to take? Will we have to go to a shelter? Bedding? Food? What valuables must we take (insurance papers, etc.)? Will water be in short supply? Can we get it all, and us, in a Honda CRV? Etc., etc. But all that is past us. The house is set, the car is packed. Now, it's a waiting game. The wife and kids are sleeping, and I am on the Net monitioing the NOAA NHC site<br><br>Awaiting the inevatible coming in the morning.<br><br> .....CLIFF<br>
