Looks like Hurricane Ida is heading our way. My wife and I have discussed the matter and have decided to ride it out. We got some canned meat and bread plus two new LED flashlights with high-intensity beams. Also a bunch of batteries. Ida's path is trending west of us, which is either good or bad depending on just how far to the west. We might get a fringe of it, but the weather wonks are saying the moment it makes landfall it will drop in intensity.
As long as the neighborhood doesn't flood, we should be fine. Just as a note, if I go silent for a few days starting Sunday, you might guess we at least got hit with a power outage. That happened last year with Hurricane Zeta.
I know I'm glad I've got a chain saw. Last time we had a storm, I filled over 30 lawn-n-leaf bags with debris. Oh, my achin' back!
