Hurricane Iselle, Better Safe Than Sorry...

well we're in the middle of hurricane season and we've got
a big one headed our way.  Iselle is picking up winds as she heads this 
way.

They're expecting Thursday into Friday to be bad with the winds and rain.
I'm so thankful that Terry is home.  This will actually be the first
time that he's been home for anything like this.  The 3 tsunamis he's been on the 
mainland and hasn't had to go through that.
Today we went through our supplies.  Just a few things that we need, mostly water.
We don't have a lot of room here for food storage (and what I did have from Bishops 
storehouse rusted through).  We've got two big plastic containers with plenty of 
food.  We don't want to have to go into that if we can help it.  With all electric
appliances, we have to think about how we're going to cook/heat food.
We've got our emergency kit ready to go and all of our important
papers in a handy binder.

We were looking at the Civil Defense website that shows the shelters...only 1, 
Waialua High School, for all of the No. Shore (Kahuku to Kaena Pt.) now
that's crazy.
Someone said any hotel or building above the 2nd floor is good.
Wonder if we should check into Aulani?
Could they have special "hurricane rates"?

I'm just so thankful that Terry's here.  At least we'll be together.
