10:50am. High winds, rain, dark and gloomy.

All preparations made. Cats are unhappy . Sophia hates storms.

Main storm not predicted to hit until 2pm. Will last, they figure til 8pm, then still more, but not as strong, until midnight.

Main computers are off - am on the laptop. Will keep it logged in until power/cable goes out. After that, will conserve the battery. Hopefully, phones don't go out.

Hanging in there. So far, this is kinda cool. We'll still see if I feel that way around dinner time.
