Lawks a massi!

Woke up this morning to find out that Hurricane Ivan has strengthened to a Category 5 Hurricane, the strongest that there is.

As a Category 3 storm, it hit Grenada and battered it. Can you imagine what it will do to Jamaica? I went to bed hoping that when I got up this morning, it would have shifted, or better still, dissipated into winds of less that 60 miles an hour. That would have been some miracle huh.

At this rate, it is expected to hit us at 3pm on Friday.....yikes!!!! That's tomorrow!

The storm shutters will go up this morning, we have to find a way to secure the dogs....we were thiking of bringing them inside but Pops will figure out a way to keep them safe in their concrete kennel.

I wasn't here for Gilbert, so I have not a clue what to expect. I hope it somehow miraculously does not do as much damage as a Category 5 is expected to do.

I have a laptop, so if we still have a phone line, I can post stuff.

Keep fingers, toes and other body parts crossed for us.
