I added a pink dot where we are; clearly not a great spot. Mom's hospital requires staff to be on-site during hurricanes to be sure they have enough to cover several shifts, so we'll have to be there by 6 p.m. for lock-down. They're in about the same position as our house relative to the water. Maybe two miles to the beach as the crow flies, but backs up to the bay behind, so flooding could be an issue. Today we've been preparing the house as best we can and getting ready to go. We hauled all the lawn furniture and such into the garage and bathed the dogs since they have to come with us. We put the patio table in the dining room and turned the good dining table upside down on top of it in case of flooding. If there's severe flooding, the table will be the least of concerns, but it made us feel better to do SOMETHING. Now I'm going to run up to the store for ice to pack a cooler. If they have any left. We'll see.
