I'm doing my best to keep my cool. I'm not watching the Weather Channel or CNN or listening to the Emergency Management phone calls we're getting or paying any attention to the Governor evacuating people 10 miles from our house. And I'm not looking out the window at the 20+ mature oak trees that are within shitting distance of our house.

I did get our papers together, we're putting away all our planters and patio furniture and backing up our computers. We bought water, batteries, canned food and got gas for our portable generator.

We're on a hill so we shouldn't have to worry about storm surges or flooding.

But those g*ddamn oak trees...

Stay safe East Coasters.
