Oh Bummer- Now Hurricane Kyle is on its way to Nova Scotia

What a way to wake up to a Hurricane warning about Kyle on it's way towards Nova Scotia expected to hit the Western Shore which is more or less than the same area as Hurricane Jaun; 5 years ago almost to the day. If it veers from present course a few degrees will go right over Halifax once again.

We had another showing today at 9am. So we were up early to clean up the house and get things in order before Ginny headed off to work.

We are also Cat Sitting "Munchkin". for a couple of dear friends as they head to Montreal for a vacation. Patches is not amused as she likes to be the only centre of attention.

Well I guess it is time to batten down the Hatches. Look for Batteries and get the flash lights loaded and candles out just in-case.

Here is a picture of Munchkin with a Super Model.

Well I think Munchkin is going to be safe - (s)he is quite a tubby pusscat not easily tossed about by the strongest of winds!

I hope it is all OK though. I cannot imagine being in the path of a hurricane. Life is so tame here.

Did you get any feedback from the showing?

sabrina-thankyou

Ek- It seems to be moving more up the bay of fundy at present will still get some impact but not a head on.

RB-He is a big lump. I have been through one 5 years a go with Juan going right over top of our house. Lost most of our trees and 20 feet of 8 fooot high rock fence about as thick as the rock fences used by the farmers.

This one will be more worry from flooding as we will be on the rain side of things.

Feedback-everyone likes it but no offers. yesterday they really liked the condo but have kids so bought a town-house instead. have another showing tomorrow during the hurricane. doubt they will show up but you never know.

just hang onto the cat she should anchor you just fine...joking...

we had a bit of one last week and flood the town so bad you couldn't get out on any of the roads...cars were floating past...we are on a hill and both the front and back yards were underwater to 5 feet from the door...good luck and keep the rubbers handy!
