The storm has passed

 The hurricane weakened, and we are glad.  We even still have both power and internet here!  I guess it expended most of its energy pummeling those poor folks in the Bahamas.

The funny thing about these storms is that no matter how many computer models the experts throw at them, they still just can't be predicted.  A hurricane that stays completely stationary at 0 mph for almost a day?  Wow. 

I'll get back to the topic at hand soon.  I think I need a day "off" from the waiting and worrying of wondering just what the storm will do.
