We are now under a hurricane warning. Kind of exciting and scary at the same time. Lets hope there is no major flooding and power outages are limited. Our neighbors do have a generator (Florida natives) so we have somewhere to go if need be!
We live only a few miles from the bay but should be protected somewhat by the eastern shore - hopefully!
This week we have experienced an earthquake, a tornado warning, and soon a hurricane. Yikes!
