My Ebenezer

The last couple of days have been a roller coaster ride – preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. Now that it looks as though we’ll miss most of the storm, we’ve gotten bored. No one worked today and we were all sitting around, waiting for something to happen. NOw, it looks like we’ll get a tropical storm and not much more on our side of town. That’s good news.

Here is what one of our neighbors was doing to prepare for the storm:

This is what the rest of us were doing:

We were trying to make sure all of our walkie talkies worked and that we were all on the same channel, just in case we lost electricity. From about 4pm until about 8pm, we waited for the winds to come and we got a few impressive gusts, but nothing to convince us to go inside. I’m not complaining.
