Hurricane's and Earthquakes- Oh my!

We are getting ready for the hurricane here! I went out and got 3 cases of water at Sam's Club yesterday as well as some soup, granola bars and nuts. Hopefully if we were to lose power that should be enough. The store was nuts, you would have thought it was Christmas! Every single line was full and everyone had there carts full of water. My friend went to the grocery store this morning and said they were all ready out of water and batteries. Where we live in Old Bridge is only about 10 miles from the ocean, not that the waves are going to reach us that far, but we are in an area prone to flooding. Allot of people in our neighborhood and this area have problems with there basements flooding when there are bad storms. We don't have a basement, but live in a tri-level so I am not sure if the lower level could be a problem. We are still keeping our options open with the possibility of just heading back to Indiana, but we are going to wait until morning and make a decision. Lower Manhattan has started to evacuate and many of the beach towns surrounding us. I have started packing us bags if we need to leave. Just trusting the Lord right now!
