"Ernesto"........................ I have no idea how it's going to affect us here. Could be a mild T.S. Could be a hurricane.......who knows. I, personally, am not expecting it to be a major event here, but I do have a full tank of gas and some extra (just 5 gallon). Have canned goods on had (chicken, tuna, salmon & fruit), some fresh sweet cherries and plenty of water.
Hurricane shutters are down except for 2 which I will put down when necessary.
I think we are just staying here unless it becomes a cat 1 or 2 hurricane - in which case Mom and I will go stay with my brother-in-law & his wife in their CBC (concrete block construction) house. If by some fluke it goes to a 3 (which I very much doubt) we'll be "outta here".
Love, Shirley
