Ophie

Some of you may be watching Ophelia and noticing her projected path is into the coast of North Carolina. I've heard she could hit the Outer Banks and track along the Pamlico Sound. We live off the Pamlico Sound. But, according to reports, we should be fine here. Schools in our county and the county to the East will be closed tomorrow at noon. I've moved the potted plants to the sheltered entry and, if winds get stronger, I'll move the table and chairs in from outside. Other than that, I don't know what to expect, so we'll be sitting tight and keeping an eye on the news. So far, we've had strong breezes and a few minutes of rain. I mean, along with our usual Eastern North Carolina excitement.

  2. Are you and the dogs going to have to take shelter in the bathtub with a matress on top of you? That's the image I have of hurricanes. I know I am odd...

  3. Both tubs are fiberglass and against outside walls, so I don't think they'll help much. Maybe we'll get behind the washer and dryer - we have those cool big ones.
