1. Nervous. I'm on the coast and it looks like it's going to make landfall about 25 miles west of me.

Got cat food, got people food, persuaded a reluctant Mr. Femmedem to let the local community cat spend the storm in our bathroom.

We have an inland relative who has offered to take us in, but she's also in Henri's path. It will likely be a tropical storm when it hits her but she's in a rural area with a ton of trees, and the ground is already saturated.

But my little house withstood the hurricane of '38, and we're far enough up so that the storm surge won't affect us. Downtown is going to be a mess, though.

Googling things like whether I should shut off the gas to the house.
