Moonchild: good for you! Chet, she's right, get the hell pout if you need to to be safe! We will hold you near and dear in our hearts and give thanks to what/whomever we believe in for the power of protection which surrounds you and your loved ones, as well as all others who live in the path of Nature's fury.

You know me, I am not what you'd call religious, but I love this and I think I posted it before. It was taken to the moon by one of the astronauts who walked on it, Insert the diety of your choice:

Prayer for Protection (from Silent Unity, Unity Village, MO)

The light of (God) surrounds me;
The love of (God) enfolds me;
The power of (God) protects me;
The presence of (God) watches over me.
Wherever I am, (God) is!

Fare well, fare safely
