--September 1st, 2004
Arrived at Jeff's house on Monday evening and quickly got some sleep.  Tuesday was mostly looking at the models and trying to get a grasp of how all this is going to play out.  We're mentally prepared for this storm now, but it took alittle bet extra this time, especially with the after affects of going through Hurricane Charley just three weeks ago.  Last night, or actually very early this morning (2am), I went to Wal-Mart and got last minute supplies...except water, which they were already sold out of.  More will be coming in, so we will be stocking up.  I also still need to get gas, both in the truck, and 5 extra gallons for emergency.
     Today will be dedicated to helping Jeff prepare the house for the storm, and then look at starting our way toward the coast.  Although might wait till tomorrow.   Have to wait and see.
