Posted using TxtLJ - Hurricane!
03:19 Still very calm outside. In fact, birds are chirping outside my window despite it being the middle of the night. Going to sleep now.
11:08 Just lost internet access. No sustained wind but frequent strong gusts. Light rain. The street is already full of debris: mostly twigs and leaves. Nothing major yet, but i would be very hesitant to try to drive anywhere.
11:26 Internet back... that wasn't even hurricane-related! My housemate had a pillow on top of the router and it overheated.
12:52 Power's out
13:07 The wind and rain are getting exciting!
13:35 wow!
13:36 Huge tree just fell on the house across the street!
15:07 I think their house is ok. Still very blustery with a few impressively intense gusts, but nothing sustained you would call 'hurricane strength.' little rain, no flooding at all here.
15:11 Oh, my mom says the eye is over us now. The sky is just white; i've seen no structure all day.
15:47 It's picking up again... I'm sitting on my front stoop.
16:02 Wandering around outside. There's so much air between the water drops you can almost stay dry, and it's warm. Met up with some neighbors in the street.
16:14 Met another neighbor with a tree crashed through his roof. Folks in good spirits though.
17:01 Kinda looks like a hurricane went through here.
17:03 People are breaking out beer and chainsaws. Still raining. 8 pm curfew announced.
21:27 Very dark, very quiet. Strobe of a squad car around the block. Rumble of the neighbor's generator. A little rain.
21:29 Reading by candlelight; drinking Tecate. Not too bad. Tomorrow i'll explore by bike.
23:18 Kate says that the apartment building across from hers had its whole roof torn off, and that Dan's apartment's ceiling collapsed.
