I don't know how long I'll be able to continue to post.

Everything is fine here, but we've had several power dropouts, most of them momentary, causing reboots of computers, but one of them was long enought to knock down my laptop. I also lost DSL for a while, but it's come back, so I thought I'd attempt one more post tonight before we're down for good. Or at least for a few hours or days.

The wind continues to pick up. We have a stagnation region just outside the front door, because the winds are coming from the northwest, so it's fun to stand out on the porch and watch the wind and rain across the street. I think it will get worse than this, but not a lot worse, based on the track we're seeing on the television. I'm not done with the post yet, but it seems like a good idea to put it up, in case I lose the connection. Think of it as a "save" that everyone can see.

The DSL connection is hokey, so I don't know how much longer I'll be able to post. In any event, power or not, we'll be good. I wish that I could say the same for those folks farther north.

Thanks for the update. Good news.

Hang in there (again)! We're all praying for you.

Good luck! Please stay safe.

It helps to occasionally shout down to the basement "Scotty, we need MORE POWER!"

Of course, this trick never worked for me during hurricane-induced power outages; we never had a basement.

Best wishes. From the tv, looks like your area is getting pounded. I'd tell you to update when you can but if you can't update, it's a bit unlikely you'll be able to read this... hope you are ok.

From the news reports, it came ashore between you and my brother's place- how considerate of the storm... I hope you merely have some fun stories to recount, no drama.
