Are Moonpie and Tater trying to tell me something?

They have moved to higher ground. Uh oh!

1. I was in the Loma Prieta earthquake in CA, the one that flattened the highway and cancelled the

World Series.

I was on the outskirts of the quake, in a new house that was on springs, basically, and when the quake started, the house bounced like mad. I came through the quake just fine, as did most of my stuff (not all, but that's life).

Anyway....right before the quake, my two cats (may they RIP, great pets) came up to me, stopped dead in their tracks, and stared at me--HARD. Just like that pic!!! Then, when they figured out that I was too stupid to understand their telepathic warnings, they looked at each other, meowed, and bolted for the safety of a room with a metal bed--they skeedaddled under that thing just before the house started shaking, and didn't come out for a good hour!

That's a fun photo, there!

2. Gonna be an interesting night.

I'm sure they will have a good laugh at me.

4. I saw some terribly high water in Columbia, SC--people unable to evacuate due to high water,

who are trapped in their homes.

Terrifying, I should think.

Hope you stay safe.

3. I love your cat pics. One of my cats gets up high on the cat tree so he

can smack my head every time I pass by.

5. If you live on low ground, make sure

to keep an axe. Friends of mine who have weathered very bad hurricanes have told me that. You'll need the axe if you ever have to chop your way out of the attic to get on the roof. Some people also keep a small boat or skiff in the attic as well. If you choose to stay in your home during times like that, you should be prepared for anything.

6. All I know is that one of our feral mummy cats

moved her very young kittens on to the patio and into the cat box and it rained for nearly 18 hours after she did that.

Cats are pretty smart.

Now can you fit into any of those spots???

7. We lucked out here.

We only had a couple of inches fall on us, so far. It's weird to think that the other end of my county got 4 times that, and that the next county over is where the worst flooding is occurring--just 50 miles away.
