Batten Down the Hatches! It's Frankenstorm!

Take Cover People! Hurricane Sandy has his/her sights set on Upstate New York. All of the national weather pundits are talking about New York or Boston but, if you follow the eye of that storm, it's pointed right at Syracuse. Yikes! That's where I'm being held captive. It is a rain storm, not a snow storm, but it's a BIG ONE! They're calling it the "perfect storm". I'm guessing that they think that's clever because of the movie. I prefer FrankenStorm, which actually is clever. Sandy cut through Cuba with 110 mph winds this morning and is gaining strength. There are a couple of factors that could make Sandy a real bear. First, it could hit during a full moon when tides are at their highest, increasing storm surge and flooding. Cuba got smacked with 29 foot waves! Second, many trees still have leaves, increasing the chances of fallen branches taking down power lines. Sandy isn't supposed to hit this area until early next week and, what force it will bring depends on where it hits land. Right now, if you draw a straight line from the eye's current position it cuts right through downtown Syracuse. I'm crossing my paws that this will change. However, the time to act is NOW people! Do you have enough supplies? You should have at least a week's worth of bottled water, captive food, kitty litter, catnip and whatever you people need to survive. Make sure you have fresh batteries. It's my understanding that you people can't see in the dark. Do you have a car charger for your cell phone? You should. Don't be a goober, like my captor, who thinks emergency supplies consist of peanut butter, crackers and wine. Although, that works. Anyway people, I'm not saying to hit the panic button. I'm just saying it never hurts to plan ahead, just in case. And, remember the most important thing, in an emergency, save the Kitties first! Good luck to you.
