Hurricane Felicia

Just wanted to send a note and say Hi and let you know about the weather here, just in case you have heard about it on TV.

We are still watching "Hurricane Felicia" to see how it is going to affect our island, if at all. Everyone is on alert to move to shelters and have our emergency supplies ready and on hand. The news said tonight that they think she will hit the islands tomorrow night, but she is dying down and the winds have been 180 MPH, and now are about 100 MPH. By the time she reaches us, they hope it will only be 75-80 MPH, which classifies it as a Tropical Storm and not a class 1 Hurricane! So they tell us to plan for wind and possible a lot of rain from Mon. night through Tue. or Wed. But then again, it could change course and miss us completely! Amid it all, we are not even worried! We have our 72 hour supplies by the door and life goes on as usual. Actually, sort of fun to see how everyone handles it! Certainly they do prepare and plan for what could be! I guess living on an island, you need to know and be prepared for such things. No need to worry about us...things are good. By Thur. or Fri. she will have passed us and probably be blown out. The ocean is certainly churning tonight however, we love to hear it out of our windows...great for sleeping!

Just wanted to update all of you and tell you how much we love you, miss you, and are thinking about you. Everyone is so busy with work, church, school starting, etc.

We pray for you every day.

Love to all
