So yeah, we've been warned about this super storm 20 hours before landfall. And I sit here typing away wondering what'll it be like. We survived storms before and I'm sure we can all get through this one -- roofs intact and trees unuprooted and all..Fingers crossed..

Here's my checklist for surviving the worst huddling in my foxhole:

a. Candles (lotsa them)
b. Fully charged MP3 player
c. Fully charged mobile
d. The Turn Of The Screw by Henry James (i don't know why a horror story would feel like the sanest thing to do at this time..)
e. Water, water and water

and..

f. Prayers (yeah, contrary to popular belief i really do talk to God, in this case, we'll need a barrage of it)
