Rain kind of stopped about 20 mins ago and it starting back up for the last few minutes.

So far, no wind. That is what worries me the most -- I really do not want to look up and see the sky instead of a ceiling!

I would take good care of a Jag like that. Hope she stays high and dry in the garage.

From what I read on the weather station, we are suppose to start getting the worst of it in at around noon today and continuing to 2:00 p.m. Have not really looked at what is up for tomorrow.

I did grocery shopping yesterday and stocked up. Have candles and bottled water. Phone is charged and so are my hearing aids. Not wearing them until I have to.

Listening to MSNBC on tune-in and they are giving reports on Hilary fairly often.
