Well here i am, in a place, the weather channel doesnt care about

There is ALot of noise, power is out, the eye of the storm is dead west, but hey, the camper is just moving enough, to rock me to sleep, the noise, is no more, than LilGlad

Yeah it's pretty windy here, , the eye is hitting, but, who cares about us in Chiefland? Everyone is in Tallahassee, or Atlanta, I knew this was coming g 10 hours ago,

Ok , things started falling off the shelves

Yeah, I knew we were on the bad side. Been at this rodeo before, my first hurricane was Hugo,
Power is out, prolly for weeks , even though Duke energy got , who knows, how much money, to build this ,new, best, substation, ever, anti- hurricane electric poles, the works, for years,


Yeah, the power is out, and I have an electric bill, due.
LilGlad and I are fine, it got somewhat loud, LilGlad just nudged closer.



Now she's hungry.
Oh, the life of a CatDaddy

are "only" gale force, you'll be fine and so will the kitty. Just expect her to sulk a bit when it's over. and she goes outside to do her business and the whole world has turned into a swamp. She will not be pleased. She will likely blame you.

One thing I always forgot between those suckers was how LOUD they are.

(One of my favorite photos is of a cat who dashed out the door to the deck only to run into the year's first 6 inch snowfall. I snapped his picture as he turned around, PERFECT "What the hell did you do THIS for?" look on his face. Cats, man)

I've been glued to the weather channel all evening. They seem most focused on power outages.

Stay safe. 🤞
