According to all the reports, we have a bad one that's gonna start blowing in this evening. We had a massive one in 2007 and it almost did me in, 9 days without power, I had a higher stress job at the time where things were still expected to get done when it happened, etc.
We live way out in the sticks now, no neighbors. I did need to drag the portable generator I bought last time and it's in the shop, hopefully done today, but I'm really not that worried. Got three days off this weekend and I'm almost looking forward to the forced sit inside. I hope we don't have a real long blackout this time, if the heat goes out, I can deal with it pretty well, but the cats and dog will be bothered by it. Got some propane for the coleman stove, I think we have enough food for several days, gonna fill some water jugs this morning and move some fire wood closer to the back door, but I'm just gonna sit here and do what I have to do and relax as much as I can. It'll stress the wife out more than me, so maybe my plan won't work out, LOL.
