Nov 19

The one we had on New Year's Eve a couple years ago ripped our roof up so badly it had to be replaced. So... at least the roof is new. Hope it holds up!

The winds don't look so bad in the forecast for our area, and that was the worst part of the other one. But they didn't predict what we actually got that time, either, so who knows?

Whatever we get, we are as ready as we can be.
