Evening Update

O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers;

After that bout of rain this morning it had stayed relatively dry during the day. Managed to get the rest of the yard cleared of potential missiles and the girls had the opportunity to enjoy some outside time on the swingset. There were showers on and off- mostly off and the winds had been increasing but still nothing more than a blustery afternoon.

A little after 5 this evening the first real bands of again Hurricane Ophelia came by and we got a good 3/4 of an inch of rain in a thirty minute period. The rain has tapered off to a drizzle mostly with more now and then. Lights are staying on just fine, and they had better. Season premier of House is on tonight damnit. No Hurricane is going to ruin that for me.

Latest forecast has the weather growing increasingly worse until tomorrow afternoon when it will slowly improve- like an entire more day of it clearing out. Lisa's employer has not yet decided whether they'll open tomorrow.

So we're still safe and dry. Thank to everyone sending us best wishes.
