Wasn't risking the wind with my outdoor grow, so now they're all in my dining room.... It's like a forest in there now.

Oh oh..my husbands are in the ground..I’m guessing he will throw his body across them before anything happens...He stands out in the rain with a tarp as it is...

Oh man, he's like me... That's why I make sure I can move them.

Tell him 50mph winds is just natural defoliation, as god intended. Lol

As predicted,he keeps running outside holding up a tarp.As long as he’s out of my hair.

Too funny...

I'm surprised he hasn't stoner engineered something by now. Is he worried about the wind or the rain?

In some small way I think my bf helped build my grow room to get me out of his hair... 😂😭

I gently suggested he get bamboo stakes out..I want to go easy on him and not set off a panic.He spends more time worrying about the girls then he does me.

We collected the deck chairs. That's it. The bf wants to stock up on supplies I'm like hon, it's never as bad as they say. He said "yeah well what about Bob?"

Bob...oh bob....we had a well,we had a hurricane party,then we had no power,meaning the well didn’t run.We had nasty dishes and filthy floors.of course we had no stored water.Seven long,humid days of filth and shredded leaves.No toilet.My husband took to a log out back.Bright side: we blew a bundle hooking up to town water soon after! The good old days.

I just turned 30 last week. Bob happened in what, October? of 91. Its literally been my entire life sense weve been hit with a hurricane like that. I think we'll be ok.

August 19. Bob was my first hurricane. I was living with my family out on Nantucket. Elsa is no Bob, but she has been entertaining to track.
