Lord have mercy

It's going to make landfall in Connecticut tomorrow morning between Bridgeport and New Haven. Which means it's making a straight line up the Naugatuck valley and right through my town. A hilly riverside New England town with streets lined with old oaks and everything Norman Rockwell ever portrayed. Tomorrow is going to be a really, really bad day. The authorities have already announced, "Simply put, this will be the worst storm in all history to hit Connecticut."
We have supplies for a week and the truck in 4 wheel with the winch and a chain saw parked in the garage. But I am not looking forward to tomorrow.

Stay indoors and be safe. Hopefully you won't need to leave, or rely on the food and tools, but it is always better to be ready. We have a years worth of food saved up in plastic buckets, just for emergencies, and rotate through so we know how to use it, firewood and kerosene saved up as well, plus some ammo. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and everyone else in the path of the storm.

Well, Irene has passed and we are all safe and sound with no damage either, thank God. Most of town is impassable but no one was killed. It may be a few days before the main roads are open, and we have power, so I'm going to do some model building!

Glad to hear you made it through. Looks like your stash will come in handy.
