Unh! 3 Million ordered to evacuate coastal areas! More evacuations will be ordered. The storm is stalled off the lower portion of eastern Florida but still striking north part of Bahamas. Florida gas stations are running out of gas, one of the city shelters that is open there only enough room for 2,000 people. If you ever see stories on the news about the people who don’t evacuate or go to a shelter, some just don’t get a chance, have a place to go or have a way out. I know of many who just won’t leave animals behind too. A friend has a part pit bull dog and he won’t be allowed at the shelter because of the pit bull genes. Another can’t find a shelter that will accept pets. Another does not have the shots up to date on her very elderly cat because of fear that he cannot tolerate the shots at his delicate stage in life. Shelters require shots be up to date. Very hard for some people to leave. Here, the police are preparing and people who are leaving are being advised not to leave anything tempting out for looters. Some stay to protect what they have struggled to get in life. It’s all they have. Looters take advantage of vacant cities. There are as many reasons for staying put as there are people who stay behind. I always hope that those who stay will be safe and protected. The storm has expanded. Maybe it will just get tired and go home! Go home Dorian!
@Mamanyt1953 and all others, be safe. Please be safe!
tarasgirl06 I don’t like mass chain stores either but in this case, could be a true lifesaver for some. Our State Representative owns my pharmacy. He’s always been kind to me and community involved in a good way. I know he would not approve of what happened. When the cat’s away....
I did enjoy reading that article from 24/7. Everyone should know the straight facts. Seriously, common sense?
@NY cat man Moved to Elizabeth City? I had a lot of family there at one time. Beautiful area. I hope they don’t get hit. The last hurricane that hit NC sent flooding far inland. The rivers and creeks no longer flowed out to the ocean but reversed as surge was pushed inland. One town has been totally wiped out twice lately. They had just rebuilt when that storm hit them again. We’ll put them on our list for hopes and prayers.
@Catzmeow Thank you! You are sweet to say so! Don’t worry, I’m also a bit weathered and salty! Lol That means I won’t melt easily.
@Jewely Thank you too! The kitties have sharpened their claws for extra hanging ability!
rubysmama maybe the song, Don’t worry, be happy?!?!? I have one in mind to post that I always liked a lot. I hope everyone will check it out!

If the storm comes here we are now looking for it to hit at night. Since the power always goes out here, I have special rechargeable lights. Maybe I better test them out?
Nice and bright.
Low beams.
High beams... shift to...
dimmer switch.
Okay! I turned them off to save the charge!
Recharging!
The cats are a bit jumpy but enjoying having crates and cages everywhere. Seriously, everywhere! Funny thing though, you know that story about ,” not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse”? Suddenly all the kitties went to one side of the cat room and sat very still! What’s that about?
This is new!
Hmmmm. Kodiak nearly frozen.
Always.....
Follow the eye of the cat.
or cats.
What’s that just to the left?
Now to the right!?!?!
Heading to one of the shelters set up behind the house for wild creatures...that’s not a Raccoon, not a cat...
A juvenile opossum!
Awww. He isn’t a baby but not a big guy either. Kind of looks like a creature is stirring. A big mouse!Either the animals are sensing the weather change or I’m just an animal magnet after all. The armadillos must have sent him. I hate to think what would show up if I moved to the countryside! I hope I don’t need an ark!
Smiles tonight courtesy of our new friend!
Have a great night everyone!
