nibot03:19 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.

Gallows humor, there. I'm kinda worried to see that while Gustav seems to be breaking up, it's heading right into your area... Hm. Hopefully you have the resources to get three sheets to the wind.
