Its raining profusely and the wind has picked up a lot.  I just did a quick reconnaissance around the house and was totally soaked after less than 5 minutes.

Lots of people on the road and once again, just like before Gustav, we saw a few car accidents.  People are nerveous and have lots on their minds, so car accidents seem to happen a lot pre-hurricane.

The bad news is that the system has sped up and that now we are expecting tropical storm winds around noon on friday, so any remaining tasks need to be done friday at the crack of dawn.

Below, the different computer models published by various weather services seem to have a consensus that its headed for us!  It sucks … but we are ready!

Going to try to get some sleep now … updates in the morning and as long as we have power, ill be updating my blog often.
