Florence...so not cool

10 September 2018 | Cape Cod

We are still on Cape Cod with another 3.5 weeks to go. Hurricane Florence appears as though it's going make landfall in our front yard. The anxiety level in this house is through the roof right now. We have decided Randy would not be flying home to do any more prep. That just seems foolish to intentionally put him in the path of a major hurricane. We always leave the house/property/boat as prepped as possible.....but there is always something that we miss, or forget if we did or not.

At this point we are figuring that if we get water in the house, we will try to get there as soon as the area is passable to mitigate any more damage and start to dry things out. Once we have things under control at home, Randy would fly up and finish putting properties to bed for the season. We swore we would never sit through another hurricane after Irene, but being up here and feeling helpless is even worse. I wish we could just go home right now.....sigh. I wish us all luck in the coming days.......fingers crossed.
