Irene

Huricane Irene over Outer Banks now supposed to get here in about 4 hours.  Already raining steady.  I put everything I could inside and tied down what I could.  Think everything will be ok but worry about power going out.  Since we are on a well which relies on electricity to provide water, we are filling the bath tubs so we can flush the toilets.  Bought lots of bottled water and filled two 5 gal water cans.  Have a camp stove and lots of gas canisters so we won't go hungry.  If power goes out for an extended period, we may lose food in frig and freezer.  I experienced price gouging yesterday.  Couldn't find large 6 v batteries and went to local hardware store which had one left and charged me $16.95 for a single battery.
Thats the world we live in!!!
