Hey all, thank you for your well wishes and prayers. They are so appreciated and needed. Thank you for your emails and messages on messenger. I read them all during my breaks from my prep work.

The only update I have is that we are definitely staying at home. Our shelters in my city open tomorrow but are not pet friendly and we cannot leave our dear Mira behind. (See my profile page for her picture.) also, while my brother-in-law lives two subdivisions over - about a 5 minute drive from me - he is in zone A and leaving. I am in zone C and not in danger of storm surge. This is according to FEMA's flood maps. Let's hope they are correct this time. 😤

We have done all the necessary preparations gathering food and water, our generator and gasoline...etc. I have been in Virginia since 1960 and was born in North Carolina where the storm is expected to make landfall. I do know the drill, but it doesn't make it any easier. I absolutely hate September/October of each year and wish it to go by quickly so the storm season will be over. Why not leave?? This is my home, my family, my roots. After all, there really isn't a place to go where there is no weather event looming.

Love to all 🤗😘.....Gel😎💚🦉
