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.

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

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.

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.

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...

**there**. Pp here

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

Thank you penquin six. I am the infrequent traveler poster from the other day. You are truly helpful and it is most appreciated.

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.

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 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.

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.
