A view of the sound from Beach Boulevard in Pascagoula - 3pm November 8thWe received our WeatherBug alert a little under an hour ago with the news that Jackson County, Mississippi is now under a Hurricane Wind Warning. These things sure can sneak up on us, can't they?
We already have enough bottled water to float a barge and our emergency equipment is all safely tucked away upstairs. Food is always a completely different story with a house full of kids... The more we buy the more they eat. It is completely impossible to keep an emergency supply of food in the house when your two eldest sons consider every hour that passes without a sandwich to be an emergency. We sighed a heavy sigh this afternoon and took a trip out to pick up lots of granola bars and tuna fish and snack foods just in case we will need them this week.

Pelicans fishing at the jetty.Tomorrow morning I'll start moving all of those annoying potential projectiles out of the yard and into the garage.
Now I'm wishing we had somehow managed to acquire the funds to buy some of those cool kevlar hurricane screens I've always wanted. Alas - we'll have to find time somewhere on our shortened schedule to lug out the plywood shutters and get them in place.
For now I'm going to get some rest -- just in case I won't be getting any tomorrow night.
