To my dismay, in the last year I seem to be getting rather experienced at the business of hurricane preparedness. To that end, on Saturday afternoon we put all the outdoor items into the garage. Grill, tables, chairs, benches, and assorted summer flower pots are now less likely to become hurricane projectiles.
The storm track remains somewhat uncertain though New Jersey is awash in preparedness panic. I got supplies on Friday night. My flashlights are ready and I have non-perishable food and extra water on hand. I've stored away some ice to keep a few items cool should the power go. I don't want to say that I'm ready for the storm because that feels awfully daring and I hesitate to get into a bravery match with a hurricane. No matter how prepared I am, I am never ready for a storm that might bring power outages, flooding, and property damage.
