And unfortunately, we’re not talking about our household’s preferred NHL hockey team, we’re talking about Hurricane Isabel.
It was bound to happen sooner or later…you put your nose out there, someone is going to bop it! And anyone who looks at a map can see there’s a whole lot of North Carolina coast line well east of Florida that hurricanes like to visit.
On Isabel’s current track, the Raleigh area is expecting sustained winds of 30-45 mph with gusts over 60 mph and about 2 to 6 inches of rain, in other words…what we’re used to with severe thunderstorms! The eye will pass well east of us and the nastiest part of the hurricane is always to the north and east of the eye. (Daddy’s still sticking to his track with the eye passing closer to Cape Hatteras but then he’s kind of stubborn about things like that…most of the models have the eye passing over Pamlico Sound! We’ll see who is right…)
Anywho, we’ve got water, we’ve got batteries, and we’ve got a good house round us. And if all goes well, Isabel will be just a bit of a blow and will be past us before we know it.
