Time: 3:56 AM.
I’m eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch,
my gaze fixed outside my window.
The sky looks bruised and angry,
like a raging child with flailing arms.
The streets are almost empty.
Trucks snuggled up against walls,
with yellow flashing blinkers.
The wind whistles along my window.
Again, and again — regular crickets.
I’ve filled plastic totes full of water,
and stocked the shelves.
The unknown bears down in squalls of wind.
Not yet a drop of rain.

Hope it’s not as bad as they’re suggesting. We’ve got sullen skies in Hampshire, England, but they’re just drizzling gently not raging. Stay safe!
Me too. So far it’s still relatively calm but it’s supposed to hit in full force tonight. Guess we’ll find out, stay safe!
We’ll keep our fingers crossed for everyone over there.
I thought you were supposed to evacuate?!
Only those in low-lying areas, so far. I’m pretty high up in Manhattan so this area should be fine.
Ok, Good Luck! I’m in north central pa. High winds and torrential rain 45 miles south of me…making one last vegan meal to tide over for power outs. Over and out!
Stay safe…
I’ll do my best.
Very evocative. We on the west coast with relatives on the east coast are anxious for news and for the storm to pass. Good luck
Thank you.
Thinking of you – Be Safe!
Thank you
, it’s much appreciated!
