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!!!
