We're hunkerin' down in Satsuma, Alabama...

[spacelady]

Too late to leave, Too Young to die... Sorry Jethro Tull. We live about 30 miles north of the coast, and made the decision to stay, but I have a feeling it's going to get ugly.

[Lex]

14. Yes I second this!

We'll try to keep the thread bumped so we can check on you.

:grouphug:

[spacelady]

20. I appreciate that. I'm posting during breaks of getting things ready,

We are prepared, but I'm always thinking of new stuff I want to have gathered around me. So I may be away, but will come back as long as I can. Thank you for your kind thought & prayers!

[Lex]

22. I'm in NC (about 2 hours from the coast) but we still have to

watch those things barrelling through our state too.

My best to you and your family. Hunker down. Be safe.

And remember, the most fatalities occur AFTER the hurricane is over, in the flooding and accidents that occur after people start stirring around again. So be safe even after the thing has blown through.

7. Hell, I got extra room in North Alabama...

If it gets too bad, pack it up!

[spacelady]

18. That is so nice, thank you, but we're in a "Catch 22" ha! thx tho

[annagull]

9. Family in Mobile, we are all hoping for the best

but it's looking pretty ugly--stay safe spacelady!

[spacelady]

10. Thank you for your support, it really helps, because I know I will be cut

off from the outside world once this thing gets close...We have a trilevel house, which is about the best storm-ridin' building possible, my daughter age 9, just took some extra clothing downstairs. We rode out Ivan last year & it was terrifying, but if one leaves, where to go? It is too late now, so I will play Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel as long as possible. As Bugs Bunny would say Bon Voyageee (What a Maroon).

[Carni]

11. Good luck Spacelady!

I hope everything works out ok!

[JimmyJazz]

12. I'll be thinking about you and keeping good thoughts.

When this is over, please post as soon as you can. :hug:

13. Satsuma?

How'd a town in Alabama get a Japanese name?

[spacelady]

19. Those crazy orange trees we grow down here!

Also, strangely, we have some Satsuma Dragon China we inherited Before we moved here.

[Saphire]

16. Good Luck...

17. God's speed spacelady.

21. From New Orleans: Be safe

i'm sure you have your plans ready. I've been busy clearing my property of tree limbs and debris from Cindy. My bags are packed and the car is ready in case it makes a crazy westward turn.

Stay in touch and let us know how everything is.

:hi:

[tibbir]

23. Best of luck to you.

And have a plan ready for where to go in your place if any tornados get spawned off the storm.

[Lex]

27. If you are still able to log on, check your PM!

I'm sending you my phone number in case you make a break for it - I'm in central Alabama, and you are welcome here!

[spacelady]

28. It is still very calm here, I'm utilizing all the electrical appliances

like the dishwasher, doing laundry, etc., while possible. Everyone else is asleep for now, I'm awake & fretting. Oh well, as Maddy Mcall says, it's consuming, for sure.

[southlandshari]
