I Dream Of Jeanne

The last thing on my mind before I go to sleep tonight will be the imminent approach of Jeanne, a tropical storm gracious enough to catch us by surprise. According to the news from our local channels, we'll start feeling the winds early tomorrow morning and all throughout the day, but what worries me more is the amount of rain these storms bring with them.

My wife doesn't have work tomorrow, but I still have to wait for a call from my supervisor. In any case, we're pretty prepared and stocked: drinking water and for other uses, canned foods, a large cooler, and a portable gas stove. Our apartment windows aren't boarded up; my bad, definitely. I really need to save up and have them installed.

So far, Jeanne is no more than a pretty strong storm, but might upgrade to hurricane. I can't take these risks, especially when I have a wife, home, and dog to take care of!
