Have concerns but understand it is yet a good ways out at sea...

Making preparations here since yesterday.

Have completed charging up my 2 meter/440 MHZ walkie talkies and spare batteries for the same.

Gasoline stores are taken care of and my emergency antennas are pre positioned.

One of the last things to be done is to get my large bottled water stores and containers from in the garage and cleaned ..and in the house. All the washers cleaned, tubs too...and filled with water. This will be later in the week as it approaches or tracks elsewhere.

Yard furniture needs to be tied down...trash dumpsters taken into the garage etc etc.


These are some basics we learned as teens in Japan during typhoons over there.

Generators will be also run and checked out tomorrow.

We started getting rain yesterday ahead of events and expect rain off and on this week.

Standing by here and continuing preps.
