Continuing north toward Atlantic Canada! As it stands right now....PEI is not going to be spared! Heavy rain will start Friday evening and continue until Saturday evening! And high winds predicted...currently Fiona sits at a Category 2....but could be upgraded depending on which way she tracks.
The Emergency Measures Organization has urged people to prepare for the worst...which of course...sends people to the grocery stores in droves...in panic mode! This photo was taken very early morning...and it only worsened as the day progressed....how bad did I need Ketchup? Turns out...not that bad...
Most are hoping with all the hype....Fiona won't land as brutal as forecasted...but people are preparing...and there are emergency shelters setting up in the event people are forced to evacuate....
Fiona is likened to a storms we've been through....Dorian and Juan come to mind. It's worrisome when the trees still have their leaves...making them vulnerable to high winds....and knocking out power lines.
Mr. Seventies put away our patio furniture...secured the barbecue, waste & compost carts...I brought in my garden flags. The pantry is stocked...we have candles, batteries and a good old fashion battery operated radio....and will keep the electronics charged up to be advised of storm updates.
Batten down the hatches Atlantic Canada...it could be a wild ride! Stay safe everyone!
Oh my goodness Charlotte! I have been watching Fiona on the news and couldn't help but think of you. I hope that you are okay and I am certainly praying that Fiona doesn't do too much damage. I hope that you are safe. Please take care over there.
