Make that a Hurricane.....

Hanna has now been upgraded to a Hurricane. Gulp. She is waddling across the region at a painful 3mph (I can waddle faster than that) and, bizarrely, is now changing direction so that she is technically closer than she was before - rather than further away and it looks like we'll be putting up with this until Wednesday. The barometer continues to drop and we continue to be battered by rain and wind. And wind like I've never experienced before (as it were!). There was some hairy last minute plywood battening done as we realised that this thing was not doing as had been predicted (up a ladder in 70 mph winds is probably not recommended in the safety manual). We are all well, and I've just about managed to get supper cooked indoors (the power went out 30 mins ago and it looked like I was going to be chained to the bbq outside to prevent being blown away, or serving up corned beef and tinned cold potatoes!). More news as and when we get a connection.
