4:30pm

Its now 4:30. The lights flickered once or twice today, but have not gone off. Its a little windier but is still only sprinkling rain off and on. A couple of smallish limbs have blown down into the yard. No reason to cancel school and work and close the library if you ask me. Note in the photos that not much has changed. I made Gil wear his Japanese hurricane suit outside, but he didn't really need it. I just think he looks cute in it. There was a squirrel out running around looking for nuts. He obviously didn't think it was such a big storm. At least not yet. The boy and I got our jack-o-lanterns carved. Now we're ready, in case trick or treat doesn't get cancelled.
