Ten months after Ivan, here comes Dennis. We're much better prepared for this one. Now we have one of those emergency generators (battery start) :) and enough gasoline to make a pretty big crater, or to run the generator until gasoline once again becomes available.
More people than for Ivan are boarding up windows. More people are evacuating than for Ivan. Right now, Saturday before landfall, which should be tomorrow afternoon, practically everything is closed, gas stations are out of gas. Wal-Mart and some drug stores are open for as long as feasable, and plenty of emergency supplies are available, like water and ice.
State and County officials say crews are queued up waiting to come in after it passes. Hundreds of trucks of food, supplies, water, ice, gasoline, electric and phone company trucks.
I think we'll be fine. We're way above sea level here. When the webcam goes offline, then we'll be out of power.
See ya on the flip-side.
