Run immediately to the video store and rent the movie "Kill Bill" and "Kill Bill 2" They may be able to give you ideas.

I had to read your post twice - I thought that Hurricane Bill was a member of the forum at first.

Best of luck - keep you and yours safe.

My best wishes to you. I can remember Hugo very well. The night that I spent in the hallway, hearing the wind and limbs hitting the house. Then the day after listening to the radio and hearing that the "holy city" Charleston was no more. Then going to Charleston and seeing it in all of it's glory (it was even more beautiful that day than normal), I saw that the storms can only do so much damage. I discovered that our state's motto is true; "While there is life there is hope"!

May you and those that you care for fare well.

Firstly I hope bill continues to slow down and lose steam for you and your families sake, being someone from the land of hurricanes let me throw a couple of suggestions your way. If you have thought of these already great if not it’s just our normal steps for the day before a storm hits down here in FL. Fill your vehicles up with gas... top them off no matter how full they are. If power happens to be out for a couple of days no one can pump gas... Make sure you have plenty of water, fill one of your tubs up just in case... and finally any party supplies and good friends you can get together, it’s always better to face these things together... and if you need a good hurricane recipe to serve while your waiting would be happy to oblige...

Finally keep you and your family safe, you’re in our thoughts.

Tarpondboy, I'm in Charlottetown...and it's not supposed to be too terribly bad for me....however i'm a bit further west than you. my partner and I went out and bought a few extra groceries and supplies just in case. Stay safe and keep us updated providing you don't loose power and/or internet access.

The storm has passed, it was more bark than bite, not near as much wind and rain as forcasted, quite a number of people lost power in the city, I was one of the lucky ones that didn't. ye haw. Thanks for all your thoughts..
