Simply..battened down....

23/1/2025

All the foldable garden furniture is in the shed, I'I have lifted the pots off the porch, tucked the bins in close to the wall, I have emergency lights and a camping stove, baskets of logs, a flask to hand, lots of food...A glass of wine and half a packet of the new favourite biscuits have been consumed. A long hot bath and bed. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best they say.

Hoping that all's been well with you, up there, last night, Freda.
(I like your preparation priorities.)

We're in the midst of Eowyn now, no power (but a camping stove and as a last resort a generator, plus plenty of wine and chocolate); not so much rain, but strength and power of wind very frightening.
Received 2 government issued Red Alerts on mobile phones.

Hoping all is ok for all of you in that area, Freda. So strange to hear you are having a hurricane and we have had freezing weather and snow in South Texas.

Hope all your preparations have worked for you, Freda, and there is no damage to your house. My fence is now firewood but still have power so won't moan too much. Take care.

I do hope you have kept safe Freda, and the storm has died down now, it must have been a real ordeal for you, thinking of you, you seem to have made good provision for the day.
