Hurricane Irene - Watch out East Coast

[Glenmar]

I wonder if some BIG fish would get trapped in the sound.

my area has been downgraded slightly but i am still leaving my house. too many trees to crush my vehicles and i will surely lose power.



the winds will still be high. this is the wind forecast for now. my house is the green dot with what i guess is pot smoke flowing out of it.

when isabelle came through the obx...it ripped open a new channel in hatteras island...creating 2 islands that was once just hatteras island...after a few weeks, the closed the inlet and things were back to normal....that whole area is just a ribbon of sand, that is constantly moving...should be interesting for sure

the area just to the south of Buxton..top of the picture is Buxton

I just wrote a blog post about preparing your backyard chickens for a hurricane. Here's the link if you're interested: http://networkedblogs.com/mcCtX

Please feel free to add your own recommendations to the list of things to do to keep your chickens safe.
Here are some of my girlz today, hard to wrap your head around the fact that things are going to get ugly around here in the next 48 hours. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks. We're spending some time tomorrow finishing off the roof of the big run (and praying it STAYS PUT this weekend!). The small run's roof needs to be taken off completely as it's a couple years old and the corrugated plastic took a beating this winter; there's no way it's going to withstand a hurricane intact.

I just went to Wal Mart and stocked up. We just got back from vacation, so now I am going to be doing tons of laundry to get it all done in case we lose power. I am not worried too much about the winds, because it sounds like they wont be too strong, but I am worried about the 10 inches of rain predicted. If it rains that much my basement will definitely flood

My main concern is being without power... How many days...

We will have some flooding..but not too bad, i think.
