I never do things halfway. Work, study, play, sex, all of it, I dive in as deeply as I can.
Unfortunately this includes making mistakes.

I think I might have made a big one here.

I am sitting at my desk, typing away, and wondering if the water will reach this far. So far so good, but the damn storm isn't even here yet, and there's trouble.

All of my memories from the last two times I ran away from a hurricane made me feel very sick at the though of running away again, so I decided not to.

The plan was to board up my place and stay with Mickey and Trey in their loft.

I paid my porter/handyman to put on the storm shutters and I made sure all was well, brought in my potted plants, and called Mickey to let her know I was on my way.

I waited too long.

At this time her building is surrounded by more than three feet of water. The stores beneath her flat are flooded. The streets for several blocks in each direction are flooded.
She has threatened to wade or swim to come get me, but I ask Her not to.

At this time there is no water in the street for at least a mile in any direction from my place, but suddenly I am feeling very lonely.

"They" are predicting several more feet of water when the stupid storm actually arrives tonight. I am safe enough, my place is high and and very unlikely to flood. My care will go bye bye, but it is just a Yaris anyway. It's insured, and I can buy new.

I know that I am a very smart woman, but this is not a good example of my intelligence, is it?



I will keep posting here just to reassure myself that there is an outside world, at least until the electric goes out.

I am well supplied, food, water, batteries, but no Net if there's no electric or phone.

DAMN!

We could have gone on a road trip!

Wicked Wanda,

You could use this thread as your hurricane blog until the electricity goes, or you feel your position is becoming untenable.

Good luck, and don't take unnecessary risks!

Thanks. Right now I am getting caught up on my writing for Pixie's. So far, very windy, two trees fell down, neither one mine. Next door and behind me.
Wind not noisy, old house, thick walls. Feels safe.

Mickey is OK, but very determined to come rescue me. So far She is waiting as I have asked. Trey is a very common sense person, and is taking my side.

Local school is "Shelter of last resort"- it's only a few blocks away, and not any safer than where I am.
