For us, Dorian stayed off the coast and we got lucky. How are you doing in your area? Anywhere near the coast? I have a stepdaughter in Beaufort, NC and they lost power early this morning. My stepson in New Bern evacuated.

The constant watching reports and updates, the waiting and preparing. My sister (who lives at the beach) was a wreck after days and days of stress.
