This pretty much sums up the feeling around here for a lot of people. I did go and fill my gas tank up this morning. I sure hope it doesn't flood too much. I would hate to see my car with a full tank of gas floating away.
Everything is put away, tied down or nailed down. It is truly the calm before the storm. We are supposed to be hit with Irene tonight. I know we will lose power - we have been pretty much guaranteed that. So this could be my last post for a few days.
I have to give kudos to our governor, Chris Christie. Upon seeing pictures of people still laying on the beaches yesterday he stated,"Get the hell off of the beaches and get the hell out of your beach houses." Perhaps if someone had been this forceful in their statements during other hurricanes the loss of life would not have been so great. You know, many people complain about our governor but you have to admit he tells it like it is. People just sometimes don't want to hear the truth.
Anyway, good luck my fellow East Coasters....see you at the end of this mess.
