Saturday Snapshot...A 10 Hour Drive During a Hurricane? Why Not?


Well, suffice it to say it's going to be an interesting move this weekend. While that lil hussy Irene won the first round with me and delayed our travel plans of moving from North Florida to Virginia Beach from Friday to Sunday, it certainly looks like it will still continue to be an adventure. Today, it's bright and sunny, with some fantastic clouds in the sky, but yesterday was a scatterbrained weather day.

We'll be heading to our new house in Virginia Beach on Sunday - hopefully the storm will be kind to all of my family and friends in the Hampton Roads/Tidewater area, and all along the East Coast.

For more of this week's Saturday Snapshots, please visit Alyce with At Home With Books.

We leave tomorrow. Fun, huh?

    I wish you the best of the luck with the move. I can't even imagine trying to move during (or after) a storm like that. I hope you guys stay safe!

    Best of luck to you and yours during the storm.
    And nice pictures. They look sort of ominous.

    We decided not to go all the way to Bristol and are staying with friends in a not evacuated part of Virginia Beach. Wind and rain have picked up since 4:30am. Stay put where you are - eastern NC is a mess right now. Good luck and Welcome to Virginia Beach!!!

    I'm glad to see you weather the storm so well. I talked to a friend of mine in Virginia Beach yesterday and she didn't seem too concerned, so hopefully things will be okay up there too.

    Oh good Lord. I'm just sitting here listening to Fox News say that Virginia Beach is right now getting its ass kicked. Well, you drive safely and I hope you find everything in one piece when you get there. Unbelievable.

    Good luck with the move! I love the ominous weather before a storm, but you can't really enjoy that when there's so much potential for real damage. Best to you and yours.

    My Snapshot is here.

    It does sort of seem like the weather is a bit all over the place right now, doesn't it? Good thing to hear that you missed part of it. I hope that your travel is easy and light, and that the storm is not an impediment at all!

    Hope you don't run into trouble tomorrow, but the storm would have completely passed by then, so you shouldn't have trouble en route. VA Beach is about four hours from here.
