| Good. Now my husband won't think I'm as crazy as he currently does, since I said we should all sleep in the living room tomorrow night. |

Starting when? Did they give a time?
Kids already asleep upstairs and all is quiet... |

The way it was written seemed to indicate after 8am Monday. It was vague, at least to me. We spend daytime in the first level anyway, but I do want to sleep down there tomorrow night at the height of the winds. |

| We're all sleeping in the basement now and the storm is not doing anything. Kids love it but as you can see I'm not. |

| The storm was never supposed to do anything until this afternoon PP. But at least you're all set up for the basement for Monday night. |

| Hopefully, won't flood down their. No sump pump, but never had A big prob w flooding either. Hope wssc drain at basement walkout works. That's our biggest risk |

| Is the living room good enough, or do we need to trek to the basement do you think? I never would have wondered this until someone in another thread mentioned the possibility of the house caving down to the basement level... |

| My husband is pissed at me for having moved DS and myself downstairs last night. I'm glad I have the national weather service on my side now. |

| We're definitely planning to sleep on the 1st floor, not sure if we'll head for the basement. I have a fear of being trapped down there. |

He was actually pissed at you for this? Wait, what? I can see eye rolling, but pissed? Tell me you mistyped. Or you should get counseling. |

| What if your lower level is flood prone? But you have large trees facing your home? |

We are in the same boat. Just stay on 1st floor. |

| Yes, we'll be sleeping in the basement tonight (we'll wait until the wind picks up until we head down there though). If you slept there last night, that was probably just overkill. |
