Well, we've got our first real hurricane headed towards us. Gustav just didn't get us worked up all that much. But Ike had a chance to be the real deal. It did have the possibility to get to Category 4. That's about where we would have decided to evacuate. As it is it should be getting here in the middle of the night. We've boarded up and stocked up so that we could hunker down.
Here's my current favorite website for checking out hurricanes (thanks, Elena).
I feel like I've had some bad luck with hurricanes. Last time they cancelled work in August on a day I was getting off anyways. This time, most people got today off, but I had to work until about 11:30 because I was post-call. Yesterday, I did get to go home for the afternoon to start boarding up the house though.
I'm not looking forward to the power going out and losing water and internet... but I'll keep bravely posting as long as I'm able. ;)
(I stole this idea from Afton, to try to encourage come commentary and feedback...)
What do you like to do on a rainy day?
What's the worst catastrophe/natural disaster you've been through?

Best of luck. We will be praying for you guys as well.
Good luck - glad you were able to get prepared. Hope it's not too bad. Hurricanes can get a little crazy.
I was wondering how you guys faired the hurricane. You're my only friends in the area un-acounted for
I hope that you guys are okay. My parents stayed behind too, because my dad is on the volunteer fire department. The had a heck of a time. I hope that all is well!
We're well, as is the house. Got power back yesterday. I'll give more details soon.
