Mingos in the Watah! What in the Wuhld?

Hi DIS friends! I'm home from Vermont and I just got all caught up. We had a great time. My mom was fine and she's feeling pretty good. She's going back to work on Tuesday. I did about half of the 5 hour drive on the way up, but she actually did the whole drive home today, with a stop in the middle for food. I offered to do some of the driving but she said she was fine.

Originally we were supposed to come home Saturday, but we decided to come home Friday so I'd have the whole weekend to get ready for school. Then we heard that the hurricane is heading for New England so we came home a day earlier so we could have tomorrow to do grocery shopping and stuff like that before the storm hits, which is apparently supposed to be Sunday now. My first day of classes got cancelled, so I don't start until Tuesday. Move in day was supposed to be Saturday but they moved it to Monday, so classes were cancelled that day. So I went from having one full day after our trip, to four full days

Apparently all of New England is supposed to get hit. It was actually already REALLY windy in Vermont yesterday and today. We got a dead birch tree in our yard taken down before we left for Vermont. That would definitely be falling over in the storm if we hadn't done that! I loved that tree but it would've either fallen on our new roof or onto my car so I'm glad we got it taken down!

Happy very belated Birthday Brooklynn!

Those bus stops are confusing. I think AK is the park where we have to walk pretty far to the WL stop. At MK it's one of the first stops, which is silly because most people take the boat anyway.

Thanks MeMom. Went grocery shopping yesterday and spent the morning loading up the garage with outdoor furniture, toys, and plants. I really hope the storm dies down a lot before it hits Delaware. We are about a 1.5 miles from the Delaware Bay so the rain if definitely an issue for us. We have had a lot of it lately so it's not going to take too much for the Bay to flood. They are saying it could go a mile or to inland. Fingures crossed evryone stays safe!

My town is right on the water(just like most of Rhode Island) so they're worried about flooding in some areas. They're talking about evacuating a few houses that are right near the water. Our house is over a mile away from the water so we should be fine.

Sunday is supposed to be the worst day around here. If our internet goes out I'll keep you update through texts!

My thoughts are with all the people that are probably going to get the storm over the weekend. Just been watching it here in the UK on CNN, about all the preperations some of you are having to do. Stay safe.

Thanks MeMom!!! We're in NJ, and the stores are getting a bit crowded of people and empty of merchandise nearby, but we're pretty much stocked on what we'll need. Hoping for no damage, I will absolutely keep you posted!

Thanks MeMom! My city is luckily not one of those on the coast, and we're not really close enough to the river in our city for it to be a concern, but we're still keeping an eye out. Like Christine said, it is expected to hit our areas around Sunday, which is actually my brother's birthday. He'll remember this birthday for sure. I will definitely keep you posted. Hope everyone else in the path stays safe!

Thank you MeMom. They did some evacuations in NYC, mostly near Coney Island. That is pretty close to us but not walking distance so my mom says we should be fine. We are part of the "extreme" zone though so I don't know what to expect. Hopefully everything will be okay. I'm worried though - the news keeps making it sound like we're all going to be in trouble.

Sending my prayers as well.

I saw on Facebook that Brook is not in the evacuation zone so she's not affected in that regard, thank goodness!

To everyone in the path of the storm...be safe! Thoughts and prayers are with you. In the meantime, I'll be staying tuned to "Storm Central".

Sending my thoughts and prayers to all my fellow Disers who are in the path of this storm.

I work at a bank and we've been non-stop all day with people coming to get cash and have heard stories about the stores running out of the necessities and lines at the gas station.

It's kind of crazy to think that in a matter of a week NY has been hit with an earthquake and now a hurricane. I guess my argument of "no natural disasters besides blizzards happening" is now a moot point
