In my neck of the woods, we are getting ready to take a nearly direct hit by hurricane Sandy. The President has declared our state to be in a state of emergency, and the Governor has mandated that everyone is to stay home unless they are in the evacuation areas. I don't know how much longer we will have power, so I wanted to touch base and tell everyone who lives in New England to stay safe. I'll be back to say Hello when the storm clears and the power comes up (if we lose it). If you are not in the area, please tell us how you prepare for a natural disaster?
