Have you all that live on the East coast looked at the weather channel lately, theres a huge hurricane out there and we are in the projected path! I live just a few miles from the coast just south of Savannah Ga. and I'm starting my preparation list. I have to go buy more cat carriers this weekend if it looks like its going to hit close to here. We had to evacuate a few years ago, and it was so hard, I had 4 cats, 2 dogs, a parakeet, a siamese fighting fish and 3 kids packed into a Ford Taurus! My husband was stationed in Korea at the time and wasnt here. The drive to my familys house that normally takes 6 hours took 10 because of all the people leaving the area. It was awful! I'm getting prepared early this time just in case. Hopefully it wont hit here but I am keeping an eye on this one!

Sending "hurricane go away" vibes!
Me too! Please be careful & stay safe! Good luck Hon!
I hope it does not come your way.
That trip must have been quite an experience.

Hope it steers clear of your area for your sake! Sounds like a nightmare to pack up. Ugggh.

I have Family on the Florida, Louisiana, and Texas coast. I'm praying daily that this hurricane turns around and fades away.
I looked at the National Weather Service website and it looks like it is headed for the Outer Banks.
Unless it changes course...
It is a big one, a Category 5. Winds are 160 mph, with higher gusts.

OMG!!! Well, since Hurricanes can be so unpredicable, I do SO hope, that it turns itself around and just fizzles out!!!! That would be SO scary!!! Take care, OK???!!!

Hopefully it will start heading north and miss the U.S. I have noticed that sometimes when they come our way they get closer and then head a little north. Good news for us but not for the outer banks of N.C. I guess we will know more by early next week on its path.
Here in Florida we are expected to feel the effects of hurricane Isabel by mid week. I hope and pray this hurricane will "hang a right" and go out to sea...
I have just been making a mental list of what to pack in the cars for evacuation. I am 12 miles inland, about 35 miles south of the Outer Banks. The cat carriers are sitting on go, the important papers area all in one place, and the cars are full of gas. I am scared spitless! I am not even sure where we would evacuate to! Probably to friends on the South Carolin-Georgia line. Inland, of course. That is, if 95 South isn't clogged with people leaving.
This might be a good time for me to go visit Maryanne in Orgeon, LOL!

Hurricane Isabel remains an extremely dangerous storm, at the highest category on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Isabel is a Category 5... Andrew was category 4 ... This storm gives me the creeps!
