Good Luck Ian and be safe. Too many people underestimate what a storm can do. I've only experienced one that I remember well. It was Hurricane Gloria back in 1985, and I remember it because my daughter had just been born. I had her in the center of the apartment in her bassenette(sp?). But Gloria had fizzled out by the time she got to my area and it was just windy and wet, no real damage. Which pleased me. Being without power can really suck, hope that yours stays on or at least comes back on quickly. Take care, Ang
