                               And now we wait

Well, let's see …

 1. Food … ✓
 2. Water … ✓
 3. Shutters … ✓
 4. Clean porch … ✓
 5. Batteries … ✓ (except for 6 volt batteries—we didn't get any in time)
 6. Gas … ✓
 7. Kerosene … ✓
 8. Generator … ✓
 9. Obsessively checking the National Hurricane Center [1] for updates … ✓

Nothing much more to do than to wait.







Are we there yet?
