I'm going to be posting a lot, while electricity lasts...

... just had, briefly, the first rain shower of the day.

Alone in the house now, watching weather reports and awaiting the worst.

The house began as a 1970s trailer home; add-ons have about doubled it in size.

The safest rooms in the place are probably my bedroom and (overloaded) workroom, but there's only one way in and out of them if something happens. I'm riding it out in the living room, which has a lot of large glass windows (that I've mostly boarded up) but isn't in the trailer section (where the glass is both thinner and less accessible from the outside).

Trailers can actually be fairly safe, IF they are secured to the ground properly.
