I went to Home Depot earlier and got a few things I did not think they would have in stock. I am in a flood zone so I purchased a backup sump pump and some C batteries that were disappearing quickly before my eyes (people were snatching up those C batteries as they walked by). It is going on 8:00PM and the rain is coming down heavily ... so far things seem to be withstanding the weather.

@njneopatriot It sounds like you did a great job preparing, wondering how you are doing?

@njneopatriot usually those essentials sell out fast, good luck! Let us know how you do. Light & Love to you

@StarSistersShow We had a scare with a dam for some local lakes (Union Lake is nearest me). Everything is returning to normal now. We also had a power outage for about 6 hours, which is good compared to others that were hit.
