We got a notice this morning asking us to pull everything off of our patio, so our already tiny living room is covered in patio furniture and plants.
As far as evacuations and such go, there are three hurricane zones: A, B, and C. As you can see from my lovely map, we are in Zone A.
They have already started evacuating hospitals and nursing homes in our zone, but we won't have an official word on if we have to leave until Saturday morning. The subway system will be shut down on Saturday, as will the Metro North train that would normally take us to Greenwich. Matt's aunt and uncle live just outside of the border of Zone C in No-Zone Land, so if we don't head for Greenwich tonight (which seems likely since his aunt and uncle and a bunch of other people are already there and there's probably no space), we've got a key to the building and we'll head over when the order is given (or when we feel like we should).
Where we'll go, in case you're wondering.
They have ordered everyone off of Long Beach Island, so all the menfolk went down to the beach house yesterday to get it ready before the island is closed off. It's a barrier island that is only about 10 lots wide at its widest, I think, so we'll see how that goes.
In other news...
- Penny hates the air conditioner
- I've not heard back from Etsy yet, although I imagine they're busy trying to figure out a hurricane plan since they're in Brooklyn
- My DBA paperwork FINALLY came in, so I have to have it notarized and mailed back to them so they can process it. Not sure if that's going to happen before next week...
- We watched the Formula One documentary 'Senna' last night at the movie theater, and it was very good. It's about Aryton Senna (you may/may not have heard of him), a famous Brazilian race car driver who died in 1994. If you can find a place that is showing it, you might like it.
Oh well, I suppose after the press conference today we will know more, so I'll keep you updated. <3
Trying not to giggle over the fact that this entry follows one about no longer being homeless...
