Riding.....er sitting out the storm.

This note will be updated as often and as late as possible.

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Irma. No, we are not anxious about Irma; we are anxious for her to get here. all four occupants of our luxurious shelter are not used to sitting around doing not much.

At this minute, (4:20) the wind is picking up and sheets of rain are whipping down the street. I went outside a while ago and felt a healthy breeze. The breeze is healthier now.

On a personal level, the shingles are bothering me significantly, but Advil helps. Otherwise, things are generally ok.

I will update this every few hours until the power goes off.

Well, the power stayed on, but the cable service did not and hence the comments below.

You can see that we survived with no real difficulty. The issue is now waiting until things open up so we can go home.
