I have been waiting all day for a storm to arrive. It's not that I like storms, but I'm ready for this one! All the animals have been cared for early. Their homes are pretty well weather proofed so they won't be getting wet and chilled.
I have the generator grounded, filled with gas and oil, and ready to fire off should the power go out. I have a heavy duty cord in place that I can plug into a power strip to keep my laptop, wireless modem, a light or two, and my phone charger going.
I'll go out in a bit and check for eggs in the hen house and in the quail cages, so that chore will be out of the way. Other than that, nothing much to do but wait and watch the skies and weather reports.
I have signed up for a weather warning phone call in case it gets real bad. However, the last time it got bad, the storm was fully engaged over my house before I got the call saying it was in the vicinity. I'm not sure how much good that will really do.
