It's 6:15 Thursday evening and we have just about completed our battening down in preparation for navI (that's Ivan spelt backwards in case you didn't figure it out).
What have we done?
1. Put up storm shutters on all the glass windows.
2. Put up galvanize sheeting in front of the mutts' kennels
3. Brought the puppy inside
4. Bought drinking water
5. Took the satellite dish and Dss antenae (dat spell wrong) down off the roof
6. Got batteries for the transistor radios
7. Bought ice to use in igloo coolers should electricity go.....sorry WHEN electricity goes
8. Ensure all the cell phones are charges
9. Cooked enough food to last through to Friday night
10. Packed away plants
11. Parked two of the cars at Daddy's office in the basement car park
We had enough food because we had just done the monthly shopping last week.
Now we sit, we wait, we watch. The clouds have got darker, and thunder has started.
I have put up some pictures at this site so go take a look. I will update pictures tomorrow morning when it gets bright.
We should start feeling the effects around 5am and the eye should be passing over around 3pm.
More anon. Check out navI Notes: 2
