I will definitely look at these blog posts one day with such fond memories. <br />Meredith, I think your'e right that this task of preparing "disaster packs" kept any potential fears at bay - it was a scary little storm!<br /><br />Rose Belle, Autumn Belle, Florida Girl, James - Thanks for commenting! My older one was really joking around with her disaster pack idea (at least in the most part!). Honestly, I haven't thought seriously about creating some sort of disaster plan, besides, "run to the _____'s house". We did pack something for the dreaded Y2K several years back. This storm though, knocked out power all over our county. Camps were closed yesterday, I couldn't go in to work, traffic signals were out, it's a mess out there still today! We didn't really predict this!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-57386148964329068752010-07-27T00:42:06.597-04:002010-07-27T00:42:06.597-04:00My brother vacationed in Toronto, Canada last week...My brother vacationed in Toronto, Canada last week and he said it was HOT there and then there was one day they had a thunderstorm.

I try to tell them dogs usually survive disasters, just get in the room.<br /><br />Your kids are so cute! I had to laugh at the photo problems with the 12yo.

I'm lamenting the fact that my 70+ gallons of store rain got used before May was out, and we've had only tiny fractions of an inch since then--nothing worth standing the rain collectors at the eaves of the house for the few ounces of water they'd collect.lostlandscape (James)http://soenyun.com/Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-5202229810044295172010-07-25T21:14:31.623-04:002010-07-25T21:14:31.623-04:00Bad storm?

My 17 year old still grabs all his favs during a bad storm, although he generally waits until we say that is time to head downstairs before he panics too badly :)Sylvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186604429680496847noreply@blogger.com
