We put up most of the hurricane shutters last night and we're doing the rest soon. They are pretty easy to put up - just overlapping metal slats basically, then drilling the nuts on the bolts. I'd rather put them up than shovel snow any day.
It's so eerie because you're in the house with no natural light - that's why we saved the ones in the living room for today. It'll be weird to have the storm pass over without being able to look outside and see it. I definitely want to watch it approach. The local news is on all day, like a snowstorm up north. And I did just laugh out loud when the anchorwoman said - "Whenever a storm is approaching you just get that pit in your stomach, like, 'We can be totally obliterated.'" Women.
Mike's office is closed today and tomorrow. It seems like a lot of stuff shuts down - except the Pancake House and Super Target thank god!

Wow, you guys are like seasoned pros with the metal storm shutters and the stockpiling of gasoline. From what I read on CNN today it sounds like Ernesto isn't going to be too bad, especially if you're living in a fortified bunker like you.
This whole thing sounds like a blessing in disguise. You get 2 days off work and you get to have pancakes for every meal!
