We think.
First, we went into the basement to retrieve a phone with a cord. The cords were in a ball.
The kids looked at the phone and said, "What is that?"
Candles. Batteries. Matches.
All the containers we could find to fill up with water. We will fill the tubs when we go to bed tonight. Hopefully no one will fall in when they use the bathroom during the night!
Lots of peanut butter. {gag} But it's better than starving.
A state of emergency will go into effect at 12:01AM, so church has been cancelled. I'm hoping we don't lose power, but it's quite possible that we will. If so, water and bathroom facilities will be the biggest issue for everyone in our area. We are on a well and won't have water if the power is out. Our neighborhood is on a community septic thingy and have been told not to flush more than twice even if we know how to pour water into the toilet to get it to flush. Ack! Eleven people+no potty= NOT GOOD.
But at least we will be dry, have peanut butter and are not in danger of losing our house.
If we don't lose power, I will post an update. If you don't hear from me, you can assume we have no power. I tried to figure out how to post from my phone but gave up in disgust. haha!
