I was heading north to Vermont anyway. My only change in plans is putting away the deck furniture unseasonably early.

I'm in NY so it's going to be very interesting to see what happens and what way the storm turns....so unpredictable. I already took down my patio furniture and planters and anything else not tied down....let's hope for the best!

I've lived through some North Carolina hurricanes--very, very scary. Hope this one takes a turn or just looses some strength. Please be safe.
