Running Away from Home, Part II
This morning, DH made a final Walmart run. He was surprised to find that it is not busy at all.
We cleaned up any debris outside that could turn in to flying projectiles. We cut some large branches off a tree that looked like they might want to go through our roof. The branches are now in smaller pieces and stored in our garage, which has a leafy smell.
I removed all the screens from the windows. It seemed like it might be a good idea - if they are in the house, they will not blow away and become flying projectiles.
We are going to put plastic sheeting over the only thing in the house that we really treasure and can't take with us - our bed, which my DH made when we moved here from solid cherry.
Little boy is trashing the family room. This is making me anxious.
We are probably going to go quickly through the list of things yet to do, eat some lunch, and leave today instead of tomorrow. I've exchanged phone numbers with our neighbors, who are also leaving.
If any potential looters are reading my blog, don't get any ideas. Many of my neighbors are staying put, and this is a gun-happy crowd we're talking about here. I'm not much of a gun fan, but I'm happy for law-abiding citizens who are NOT emotionally unstable to be able to protect themselves and their property from scum who would take advantage of a natural disaster to enrich themselves at others' expense.
I will audio blog from the road as I get a chance.
