The last time I had the news on, the wind gusts were up to 56mph. They are more than that now. I don’t want to know how much, as it’s really not a whole lot of fun being in a tropical storm on your own. I’m watching the 50-foot pines behind my condo sway in the wind on a north-south axis, which is fine, because my condo is west of them, and my neighbors behind me are east of them. Feel free to fall down on a north-south axis if you must, pine trees. Wow. They just leaned halfway to the ground in that last gust.
The power is still flickering rather frequently. I don’t expect it to stay on all night, but my last round of Plants vs. Zombies seems to have calmed me down considerably. I have a flashlight upstairs and my LED lantern downstairs, so I’m fine if it does go out. Time to unplug the computers, though, I think. I don’t want them fried in a power surge.
Geez. There are a couple more hours of the peak, then there’s the same stuff towards the end that there was in the buildup. Not liking hurricanes any more than I liked the earthquake last week. Mother nature’s got some major PMS this week. I know how she feels, but geez—I don’t take mine out on everyone else!
Well, I may be up here in NH, but I’m thinking about you (and the cats… I’m no longer giving any thoughts to the Jeep). Does that count?
