    Oh goodness....praying for their safety!

    Have they evacuated at all?
    Have you been able to be in contact with them?

    As a parent, no matter how old your kids are....this kind of thing ****s!

      Yikes, can they go and visit you until the storm passes? I hope it's not necessary and that they'll be fine

            Hugs and prayers! I understand how you feel, my daughter moved to Houston last year, 3 weeks before Harvey hit. What a nightmare that was!

              Her husband is in the Air Force. They live on base housing. They have been told to just hunker down. They have sand bagged all their doors etc and moved as much stuff up high in their house as they can. They are newly weds and don't have much stuff, which may be a blessing in the long run. They have wrapped plastic around their dining table and balanced the couch on top if it etc. Crazy stuff, but trying to keep stuff dry in case they flood.

              There is a shelter on base too and they have been told they will be notified if they have to go there. My daughter is terrified.

                  Talked briefly with my dd last night, they live about an hour inland from Raleigh. She said all they were expecting was some rain and maybe some wind. Everybody around her is getting prepared while she says she may fill up some water bottles tonight. She's acting pretty nonchalant about it all. I said yeh, but they're predicting this to be an awful terrible hurricane. She says they say that about all the hurricanes. :confused: I'd rather be over prepared than under prepared. I wonder if a lot of people become desensitized due to the media hype from the past and do less, figuring they'll be okay? :confused:

                  Keeping everyone that will be in the path of this storm, in my thoughts!!

                    Heck I'm just on the other side of the smokey mtns and will be in the hospital for a few days, but even I have 18 heater meals, canned goods, water, flashlights etc stocked at all times. My car is full of gas too

                          It looks like Florence caused and is still causing a whole host of problems along its journey. I hope you all have come through without too much upheaval.

                            My stint in the hospital (Went in last Friday due to increasing issues) turned into a nightmare & just getting to go home later today; major pain killers... laparoscopic gallbladder removal Monday ended up being changed to old school "cut her open" surgery while I was under because of my liver issues; would have made me close before end of month anyway. Guess what, I have 2 families texting me , "I really don't want to bother you, but can I get a refund this week?". I'm not even at home people & the fees already paid bills beginning of month (I only had 3of 4 spaces filled, and one of them was fairly new)

                            NoNOand NO. Read the damncontract. It specifically states no refunds of prepaid fees in payment paragraph and in the termination section it states I have the right to close no notice in cases of severe illness or Acts of God. They were all pissed I was closing by end of month to begin with - sorry my health comes first now - learned that the hard way back in FEB. I'll be fine once I heal ..

                            Now who wants to buy some infant childcare toys, minui handysitts boosters, books etc?
