We are right in the middle of the island so we aren't a flood zone. I'm not really stressing this storm. It is what it is and I can't change it. I'm just hoping my job is sensible this time and CLOSES. They even opened the day after that blizzard in 2010 when no one could even get out of their house. Seriously, they're so messed up.

And its the calm before the storm in the NE .....
Sarah, Dani, Pas, MM, Sheila ... it's coming for us ... be safe, been thinking of you all ...  I wanted to make sure I posted today, in case we lose power (we are projected too). Just rec'd a text from Pas .... they are evacuating near her neighborhood but as of this moment not their block .... but the "King of Prepareness"  has been prepping for the storm, and they do have a generator ... so prayers that everyone remains safe.Sarah, prayers that nothing goes amiss with your trial ... GG: Happy you made it home safely!! IHTM, DetTigGal, Melissa ... As Sarah posted, I made it all 27 miles, but my knees hurt!! Today, I am feeling good though. Beautiful, scenic ride and along Kelly Drive we got to see the rowers out! Quote:
 )Miss, do hope your parents will be safe. Quote:

We were very lucky with Irene and the October storm of last year, but they have been talking about this for so long that they are making me nervous.

Our schools have closed for Monday/Tuesday. DH works in Southern Jersey so with the state of emergency he's not going to work either. Me, since I work close, don't know what they will do. The real effects are supposed to hit around 4pm I think. Quote:

to my Friends! I am here....just been so very busy with this full time work schedule and trying to keep up at home....I didn't even get my Costco run in today! Might head there after work tomorrow. I am thinking of all of you, Dani and PAS, Janet , candace, and Melissa and Sarah and anyone else in the direct path of this storm! I hope you all stay safe and get through this unscathed. My inlaws live in BC and they just had a 7.7 earthquake the other day with Tsunami warnings. Thankfully they live far enough inland that they where fine, and no Tsunami.....natural disasters can be very scary though! So please stay safe my friends.Janet, my BFF is posted in Lewisberry PA right now and she said the hurricane is headed their way too.... I am thinking of you all and keeping you close, praying this is over fast with minimal to no damage! next week Is going to be a hard one for me.....6 days straight due to having to attend mandatory training next Saturday for the new computer system the Govt/ corrections system is converting too! I'm not looking forward to this week at all!!!! I'm here with you all even if I can't stop in and chat as much as I wished I could!!!, Stay safe and sending s to you all!!!

Good luck my friends with Sandy!!!
My girls are off today and DH is staying with them. I am going in to work but if the National Guard gets activated, DH will have to go so I'll come home at that point. Fingers crossed that this isn't too bad!

Lots of rain and a some gusts have started here. We're suppose to start getting 60-70 mph gusts around dinner time. I think the worse of it will be tonight and tomorrow here in Northern VA. We made an all important run to Krispy Kreme yesterday! Schools are closed today and tomorrow and DH is even off today since the Federal Gov't is shut down.
How is everyone affected by Sandy faring? Is anyone in the blizzard zone in WVA? How about Dani near Staten Island? Have any of our NJ residents been affected yet? Be safe everyone
