Well, Claire and I are up. The wind is really strong, and I'm afraid our trees aren't going to make it too much longer. We've had a lot of power blips, too, so I suspect it's about to go for good. The rain isn't strong yet--we're still in the "green" part of the radar, but yellow and red are really close. Our tv keeps going out, but from what I can tell, things are much worse further south.

But, don't worry, we have on our trusty hurricane helmets.
