It's awful. Ever since I lost power in Katrina, I have been terrified of losing it again. So, today, knowing that I could lose power essentially any minute- it's SO horrifying. And anxiousy.

That said, we've done all the preparations that we usually ignore- doing dishes and laundry, blow-drying hair, making coffee to put in the fridge, iPod and cell phones fulled charged- all in case the power goes out.

(Pleaaaaaaaaaase don't let the power go out, please.)

It was a great source of debate in school this week, while we were waiting for Wilma everyday- which would you rather have, an earthquake or a hurricane? Those in favor of hurricanes said it was so that you had time to prepare for it in advance and know what you were up against. Those in favor of earthquakes were for them for precisely that reason- you don't know they're coming, so you don't get to agonize over them.

Lord.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that power keeps flowing. :) Stay safe!

Ditto on keeping fingers crossed. I'm thinking about you.

At least you're prepared if the power goes out. Could be worse: Could go out for days in the dead of winter in an area that only has ELECTRIC heat. :p

Stay safe or I'll have to hurt you!

Hey Madi, I lost power early Tuesday morning and it still isn't back. I'm at my aunt's house in Port St. Lucie (about an hour away from my house). There's an FPL guy who lives in her neighborhood, so they got it back Monday night I think. Or myabe they got it back yesterday. I'm not sure.

I hope everything is going ok. I saw the post your friend made saying that you were ok. I'm happy to hear that, but hopefully we'll both get our power soon. A friend of mine just got hers back, and she lives near me, so I'm hopeful mine will be back soon.

Wishing you the best!!
