Waiting for Frances
So Frances has slowed down considerably...forward speed, I mean. It's weakened a little, too...winds currently at 105mph (as opposed to 140mph) - I'll take what I can get.
The bad news is that the brand new track prediction places the storm's path at the north end of my county. That can change, of course, and it likely will a few more times before Frances hits land. But I really wish the damned thing would spin off into the ocean in the other direction. OK, I'm fantasizing but this is my journal so I'm allowed.
We're as ready as we can be. Plenty of ice made. Trash cans and plants and other outside items are inside the garage. Food is cooked and ready to eat. Now it's just the waiting game.
They placed a mandatory curfew in my county beginning at 6am Saturday. Gonna be some dead roads out there. I think that's a tad premature, but we'll see. They expect winds to really pick up around then.
That's about it for now. Friggin' Stargate and Stargate Atlantis were repeats tonight, my usual Friday TV fare. All I can say is that Big Brother better not be preempted tomorrow night. And we better have power to watch it, too.
Priorities, don'tcha know?
