Good luck GB and all others affected.
We have been closely following the projected path with each update. Already got the generator out of the shed, ran it, and put it on the back porch. Have 3 cans of ethanol-free gas for it. Other necessities stocked up, cash, water, ice, propane for grill, candles, batteries, flashlights, lantern, etc. Have two VHF/weather radios. External power source for cell phones. PLB in event of extreme emergency. Chain saw and tractor/rake ready to go.
8:00 AM NHC update this morning has the storm moving through my area Sunday night and Monday morning offshore of the east cost so we will likely still have a pretty good wind event with trees and large branches falling, power outages, and possible flooding as we are already near flood stage in many areas. My sister lives on the east coast and will probably have severe weather at her house. Mom and Dad are further inland and should be ok but are mobility impaired so I will maintain close communications with them. And of coarse the path could still change.
