Oh, Sandy!

Power is flickering, iffy at best. Internet access is on and off, too. Lots of sirens and fire alarms. The wind and rain are pretty bad here, expected to be worse tonight and tomorrow morning. I know they already lost power a half a mile up the road from me. Some of the trees around here are looking a little unstable, so that worries me a bit. I'll keep checking the beach down the road to see how high the water is rising. If it starts really creeping up, I have a place to go inland with my Mom and my cousins.  If I can, I'll sure be on at least intermittently! :D

Meanwhile, I am stocked up on food, filtered water, pet food, and, for those of you who know my crow, Havoc, I've got lots of food and filtered water put away for him, too. :D If I have to bail, I will take my dogs and Havoc. But I'm worried about my goldfish, The Doctor. I don't know what to do if we lose power for a long time. He'll be without a filter and aerator. Someone told me--in all seriousness--to blow into his tank with a straw. If it comes to that... I also scrubbed his tank clean, changed his water, and put away a gallon of filtered water in case I need to change it again, if the filter goes. Jeez, being that worried about a fish, of all things! 

Anyway, now that I can get on Tumblr and LJ once in a while, I can stock up on OTP feels, as well!
