Still windy, rainy and gusty here, but we're all ok. Might have some minimal roof damage, nothing significant. The lake behind the house looks like a little raging sea. Impressive. My little willow tree is laying flat on the ground, but is still hanging on. I really thought I'd lose it this time. Strong spirit, my willow.

Power went out just briefly. I know a few things have slammed against the house. Heard all kinds of things throughout the night. I haven't slept, so I might do so soon. Spent the night watching the news, looking outside, making sure the panels were holding and everyone slept ok, then watched a few movies. Let's see: Wrong Turn, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Matchstick Men, plus a few series episode reruns Stargate SG-1 and SFU. Played Monopoly and Poker with the kids. Fun way do wait out Hurricane Jeanne.

Family is safe, and some of my local friends I know are too. If we haven't communicated yet, drop a comment here and let me know you are ok too.
