crying her head off. She can probably feel the change in barometric pressure. Nothing due here until about 3AM. I'm prepared as best I can. Cellar(furnace) is of most concern. Lose power and I am going to be hand pumping for as long as the outage lasts. Ugh. I'm too old for this. Wish I had gas heat.
Good luck to all.
I can survive without much food or water but not without a pump. The last big storm 7 or 8 years cost us $7000.00 for a new furnace. Sump pump died. You never know until it happens.
