6.55 p.m. Wednesday, October 5th, 2016, Nassau , Bahamas
The wind is increasing a little now. When I opened the
blinds above my computer I discovered that the guy who put the shutters up had
left one panel off that window! No problem. One of our sons put it up for us.
Covered everything in our office/storage area with
large garbage bags (cut them up first) in case of possible leaks. Put important
documents in a plastic bag in a small suitcase and photos and other personal
items in another, in case we have to evacuate in a hurry. Made a list of what
else to take if such an event becomes necessary.
Boiled a supply of eggs and potatoes. Baked two days’
worth of chicken. We also have tinned green beans, a couple loaves of bread,
sandwich meat, cereal, milk, juice, fruit, and of course, water. We can always
have the eggs, potatoes, chicken and beans cold if the power goes off. Also
filled the bathtub with water in case the water supply goes off (this can often
happen when there’s a power cut).
Erskine made ice in freezer bags, to keep the fridge
cool if there’s a power cut.
So we’re all set. Now we just want Hurricane Matthew
to come and go quickly!
