This is a quickfire blog tonight. No picture or happy stories.
Hurricane Sandy is set to slam into Cape May Monday night/Tuesday morning around midnight. And since we live at a whopping 8 feet elevation a quarter mile from the ocean, flooding and wind damage is basically imminent.
Word on the street is we are evacuating. I'm not sure when, there is an all hands meeting on base tomorrow morning and we will find out then. Rumor is Sunday. We already booked our hotel up in Mt Laurel NJ (close to Philly) for the next week to avoid the rush. We will be leaving either tomorrow or Sunday (depending on what the base tells us).
Unlike last year during our Irene evacuation, Brad won't be joining us. He is deploying to Fort Dix to head a strike team for when the hurricane hits. So it will just be me, the kids and the dogs. However, close friends are evacuating to the same hotel, so I will have plenty of help.
AND, bring on the hotel Halloween party! We are not sure if we will be back in time, so I am bringing the costumes, decorations, pumpkins, gear, treats etc etc with us. We might google map some suburb to invade and trick or treat in. I'm not letting this stupid storm ruin my kids' fun.
So yeah. Lots of stress. Lots of caffeine. Time to finish packing up the truck and getting ready for Round 2 of Hurricane Evacuations.
