My cat Red is keeping an eye out for the hurricane. He is wondering what happened to the Blue Jays and Juncos that are usually around in the morning.
I like how the shadow of his ear looks like he’s giving the coming storm the finger.
The sky has darkened and looks ominous. Except for the trees starting to sway the world is silent. No hummingbirds near the feeders. There’s not a sound of a bird chirping or any critters outside. I hope they stay safe in the woods.
Hurricane Dorian has devastated the Bahamas and heading up the Atlantic coast. The hurricane has reached and battered North Carolina, bringing wind gusts of more than 100 mph to the Outer Banks and more than a foot of rain to eastern parts of the state.
At present Dorian is heading northward towards Nova Scotia and will empact Prince Edward Island in Canada. According to the models it will pass directly over my area as a category 1 with winds of 140 km/h and gusts of up to 165 km/h.
The stores were full of people yesterday. Water, batteries, flashlights and food were flying off the shelves.
It has been suggested:
Consider unplugging larger appliances to prevent electrical issues during and after the storm.
Have access to at least three days’ worth of supplies for each member of your household (including pets) in case you’re unable to leave your home.
Fill up the bathtub with water for use as the power will probably go out.
Put all lawn furniture, planters, garbage cans and anything that isn’t tied down into a shed or garage.
Make sure your pets are safe inside.
Check the sump pump ( if you have one) to make sure it is working.
While Red keeps an eye out for the hurricane, Hubs and I will make sure we have battened down the hatches and wait for Dorian to pass.
Location: Prince Edward Island, Canada
