I am freaking out a bit. We lose power easily. I am in far SE PA and there are lots of trees and the ground is already soaked (wettest August on record and that is before this storm). And CBS Phila is warning some people could be without power for a week to 10 days or even 2 weeks (I certainly hope not!)

I am charging 2-3 each of KR808D-1, Riva 510, 510 manuals, already charged my 2 (wish I had more) 14500 batteries. Amazingly the 11,000mah portable USB charger I bought showed up today and I immediately started charging it (needs 7 hours to charge and I have obviously never tested it).

I also charged 2 Kindles and my netbook.

I think the 600mah Ego 3-stage battery is stuck in the mailbox grrr - sometimes the mailperson shoves a small box in too far and traps the lock of the box so we cannot get it open.

And speaking as one who has lived in Houston for over 30 years (and many hurricanes & tropical storms), just know that all will be well. It's scary as hell when a hurricane blows through ... but it DOES go through. Nothing lasts forever ... even though it feels like it at the time. Love, laughter & and a sense of humor always gets you through! My empathy and sympathy go with each and every one of you in Irene's path!
