I still think this hurricane is gonna curve eastward at the last moment and spare much of the New England a major hammering. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking! My dad has his truck loaded full of the valuables in case the storm surge is higher than expected and they decide to flee. For now they are gonna hold tight to man the generators and keep their freezers from going hot. When the tropical storm came through a few years back, they were without power for 11 days. I can only imagine how bad this one will be. I just hope the hurricane stays at least as far east as they are predicting and hopefully much more!
