Everyone's A Little Frantic

I suppose if I had hatches, I'd be battening them down now.  (Can hatches be battened up?)

Hatch-battening is another skill schools failed us on.  Life stuff, you know, like balancing your checkbook, picking locks, and wine pairings.

Anyway, it's supposed to get nasty here overnight.  A weatherman on The Weather Channel just said that if there are tall trees around your house, go to the west side of the building.  The west side of this house is where most of the tall trees are!  The precise track of the storm keeps changing a little bit, but Athens is on the "dirty side" in all of them.

It's a miserable and an excellent time to be without a credit card.  I can't go to a grocery store, and they're surely packed anyway.  I can't Instacart or GrubHub, and they have to be slammed, too.  So, I'm just keeping my devices charged and watching it rain.

I hope you made it through safely. I had The Weather Channel on all night and it looked pretty bad. We've had nothing but flooding here all week so all that rain coming our way is worrisome but I'll take it over wind any day. I've seen what trees can do to houses and it's not pretty.

Hope things went safely through the night for you! We just have a very messy yard and only one tall pine tree down!
