Hurricane Irene Threatens Stonebridge Crossing and Surrounding Area

The first hurricane to threaten our community in eight years
will probably make landfall this weekend. Hurricane Irene is,
at this writing,currently tracking toward the Bahamas and the
U.S. Southeast coast. Go to: Live Global Hurricane Tracker to view current position of Irene.

This is the time to prepare for this event. Get batteries, bottled water,
canned food and a mechanical can opener, and other suplies now. Waiting until Friday will be too late as stores will be swamped with people and needed items will be sold out. Remember the saying, "It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it".
Go to: Disaster Supply Kit 4 Steps for a list of what you should have.

For more information see my earlier post: Hurricane Preparedness Info.

If the storm does come,at least it will put out the Dismal Swamp Fire. Which means no more smoke. Start preparing now! And good luck to us all.
