The rain began around 4, as predicted. Schools are to be closed today and tomorrow as we face a lot of rain, possible power outages, flooding, and road closing.John has renewed the waterbreaks on our road and we have a store of water in case we lose power. And, of course, kerosene lamps and a gas stove top.
So we're pretty much set.
If you don't hear from me tomorrow, it will mean we've lost power.
Stay safe, everyone in the storm path.
Update Thursday morning: We lost power last night, but it was back in a few hours. Hurrah for the crews from French Broad Electric! Of course, it may happen again...
