The Lights are Flickering!
Hurricane Katrina made landfall early this morning and continues to head North. The ‘window of opportunity’ for us for bad weather is from 7:00 p.m. tonight to 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning with the VERY worst expected after midnight. The wind is whipping around — really blowing quite hard. It is in very strong gusts — not sustained wind, but the gusts are frequent. Already the lights are flickering (and have been for a while now) and I fear we will be without power at some point tonight.
I laid out candles, a lighter, my battery operated radio (that my Daddy insisted I always keep near when he gave it to me), a flashlight, and some extra batteries. I know we will experience nothing like what the poor folks down South did, but it still might get interesting. I’m just hoping for no tornadoes!
