This is what we did to prepare for the storm:

1) We pulled some cash out of the ATM in case electricity went out.
2) We filled up our cars with gas.

3) We had some food in the fridge but I wanted more nuts and fruit, so I went out
shopping at a tiny grocery to avoid the panic of the large grocery stores.

4) On the way home, I saw "a place called "The Battery Store."I was happy for
the opportunity to buy extra batteries. The people were nice.

5) When TV said the storm was getting closer, hubby brought in some junk
from the patio like garden tools and bricks
because we do not want wind blowing that stuff into our windows.

6) Then we stayed inside for a few days, watched the weather reports, caught
up on sleep and waited for everything to pass.


====================================
7) The storm has passed and work opened Thursday.
Thursday I did a few work things by phone and email.
My first day back on campus is Monday.
