been “sleeping” since midnight or so... rain is whistline around the plywood and can hear “sheets” of rain marching along the tin roof, but have heard harder rain before. Actually, TS Arlene (or what became TS Arlene a couple days later) sounded harder. Just woke up to take a whizz, heading back to sleep in a min. Power's still up, so looks like we're gonna make it through with minimal damage. Waves should be pounding us by now, but its still too dark to see and too windy to open the door. when I get up later on I'll go check across the street and take a few pics.
update 8:34AM: this latest squall JUST subsided. the only word to describe that much rain is 'Biblical'. Took some pics and video, later i'll venture across the street and see what the sea looks like
