What a bizarre week. First an earthquake, and now hurricane Irene is blazing her way up the east coast. As a NC native, I wasn't sweating it until NYC shut down transportation and certain hospitals, plus issued a mandatory evacuation for low-lying areas. Fortunately, we're in zone B, though we're really only a few blocks away from the danger area. Eek. This calm-before-the-storm feeling is so weird: The suits are freaking out in television, sirens are ringing outside and all my patio furniture is cramming up my kitchen, yet it's lovely out and people are going about their business. Fingers crossed it's not so bad. Off to go fill up my bathtub with water...
