I'm the type that likes to know what's going to happen, prepare for it, and then get it over with. Unfortunately, Hurricane Earl is not cooperating and the waiting and wondering continues to drive me crazy. Living on a tidal creek and across the street from Hampton Roads harbor in a home that has flooded before, the boyfriend and I have taken the storm warnings seriously and have completed the outside precautions in case the storm hits harder than forecast: the good car is in a parking garage in downtown Hampton (on the second floor) and all of the patio and deck furniture and the boyfriend's many potted plants have been moved into the shed or the garage. *Hopefully, by morning we will have a better read on possible storm surge levels and we can decide whether to put the newly built flood doors in place and move furnishings to to the second floor. Unlike during the 2009 "nor-Ida" storm, we now have a more or less water proof first floor so that any clean up should be far, far easier. I will keep everyone posted on events as they unfold.
