My neighbour Derek (who owns Coconut Joe's) doing his part last night while we were boarding up the windows.

Windows are all boarded up now, weathercam is down for now. I was gonna see if I could suspend the camera so as to peek out the slit at the top of the board, but it's fark out and you wouldn't see anything anyway. I may aim it down into the apartment, but that's pretty boring, too. Just me, Seb, Tweeter, Toby & Turtle.

She's still churning away at 155mph, on the same course, which takes her 90 miles south of us. We'll probably have a max sustained wind of about 75mph, maybe with a few higher gusts, but that's just my opinion and in no way is it any part of any official forecast. :)

We've got Secret Agent Radio on (www.somafm.com I think) and cookin some dinner. after that, chill, maybe watch a couple movies, fall asleep and probably wake up tomorrow to the same weather we have right now!

I'm going to stay online as long as I can. If the power goes out, the networking gear is plugged into the UPS and Im on my laptop so I should have close to an hour of backup power to make a final post and then shut everything down and switch to the windows smartphone.

I just got an IM from East End, it's starting to rain over there and the waves are starting to pick up. They just got back from watching the sunset and have broken out the wine and chocolate. :)
