Hurricane Watch

I love a good storm. There's nothing better than sitting out on the porch during a thunder and lightening storm. Whenever I hear that there's a hurricane coming our way, I secretly hope that we get the wind, rain, and big waves without any of the damage hurricanes can cause.
We've got our flashlights and candles ready, extra batteries, bottled water, and propane for the BBQ. Apparently Irene is expected to be downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it hits Canada. Our part of the province won't be hit directly, but we'll still get lots of wind and rain.
