safe place cause you are in direct line of this monster storm. It will be less for us down here but we are as ready for the aftermath as possible. I just hope we don't loose power because it will not be nice. Check in as soon as you can to let us know you are alright. Lots of luck!!!!

Thank you all. We're *boarded up* and staying put. The center of our
our house has an attic above and no windows, so it's a safe zone.
We're not right on the coast and the roads/hotels are booked with evacuees from the barrier islands. So this scenario works for us.
I'll be in touch when I can. Just make some lemon pound cake for our 90-year old neighbor who won't leave her house. Her daughter lives with her so we're looking out for each other.
Love you guys!

oh, I need a butterscotch pudding that will tweak the memory of a 90-year-old.
It's her favorite so I made a butterscotch pie filling from MAGPIE BAKERY, but that didn't ring her bell at all.
I bake desserts, Larry delivers, daughter serves and asks Mom what the food reminds her off. Diane says Mary hasn't talked this much in years. Then they write me the sweetest notes back telling me about the memories the dessert evoked.
We only 100 yards apart, but it's quite an epistolary relationship.
PS: They are from Connecticut & Massachusetts if that helps find a regional recipe.

Oh thanks for checking in. I really thought you were right on the
beach so I really was worried. I feel much better now. So far it really is pretty calm so I'm hoping the power stays on. That would be bad for me. Stay safe and hopefully you don't loose power so you can check in when this is all over.

No, it wasn't until we moved to the West coast of FL that we had any experience with one. I was so
terrified of one when we moved to South Florida that my husband had the house equipped for the hurricane panels. They had to be stored in the garage and we never used them. But it did give me some peace of mind to know I could install them if he wasn't there and they were needed. Then I got the ho-hum attitude a lot of Floridians have who haven't experienced a storm. We didn't have a generator until we moved to Sarasota and never used it, either. We had a brush with Erika, I think it was, when we lived North of Clearwater and then again in Sarasota when Charlie changed direction and headed straight into the West coast of Florida about 30 miles south of us. It wasn't a very strong storm but left damage resulting in a lot of blue plastic covered roofs across the middle of the state, close to Orlando. So it's not only the coastal areas that get the damage.
That must have been so scary to be by yourself and weather a storm like that.
