the hurricane is coming

It has been a pretty day here in Wilmington making it hard to believe a terrible hurricane is headed straight for us that is intent on destruction. At least that is what all the newscasters are saying. I do not live in a mandatory evacuation area, but tomorrow morning I will be one of the cars headed out of town. Most of Wilmington has a low elevation, and I am heading toward higher ground at Peter and Sally's. I hope I will be able to come back home in a few days, but reports say there will be massive flooding all over the Carolinas. I hear words like devastating, historic, catastrophic, life-changing, the worst ever seen, and I cannot imagine. I have never been in such a situation. I pray my house is spared and the trees stand strong. I got a neighborhood newsletter this evening, and a lot of neighbors are riding it out. So is the hubby. He wants to see what it is like. We have prepared today, but it may not be enough.
