Everyone at DU is thinking of you!
This one missed me but a lot of other DUers are in Zeta's path.
Please check in and let us know how things are going (when you are able).
Give us a holler.
Thank you!

Perhaps when tRump country gets torn up by Hurricane Anubis they might get a clue to do something about climate change.

(5,808 posts)It hasnt been too bad compared to Sally. We still have power but it blipped off briefly. Came back on in a minute or two. I had a longer message but my wifi cut out and it was lost.
Wind is still gusting. 35-40 mph We keep hearing things that go bump in the night. Eekk.
So far, so good. Were seasoned veterans to hurricanes so well be ok. Thanks for the encouragement! Weve had one tornado warning but it went east of us. Thank goodness for high tech radar so we can get down to street level warnings.
Its moving very fast so will be gone from here by dawn. Look out ALABAMA, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina! Its headed your way!

(59,940 posts)I will grind coffee in the morning in case we do lose it and it is out for some days (can't do without the morning French Press!).
Dogs will get muddy for their pee breaks - so what.
thanks! nothing for us will compare to Hur. Fran going over Raleigh in 1996 - a few hundred trees down, no power for a week - and really scary to hear the wind and the trees breaking and thumping down, the smell of pine....

We still have a month to go until the season is over.
