A hurricane? Seriously?

I'm not unpacked, the house is not clean, my mom and dad are coming tomorrow, and we're in a hurricane watch. Tropical Storm Edouard is projected to hit us sometime Tuesday morning. I don't even know how to prepare for a hurricane, and we don't have water or an emergency plan. Tomorrow night for Family Home Evening, wish us luck!

We had an unbelievable thunderstorm tonight (I thought they were bad in Nebraska, but those are nothing!) Poor Noel (the dog) was scared to death, I had to bring her inside. The thunder and lightning was unreal, it kept striking, for about 1/2 an hour. The missionaries told us that you don't need to water your lawn here because it rains every day, and it's true. We have had at least a little rain every day. TOday was a big rain, and all of Emery's outside toys (his wagon, wheelbarrow, and crane-dumptruck) were filled with water. It is such an adventure here.
