Calm before the storm
[Looks like she's drifting north ... ] [1] Well, in good news (overall)
Hurricane Frances [2] has become a Class 3 hurricane, loosing strength while
over the Bahamas, as two high pressure systems (one to the north, and one to
the south) have been beating away at it. And it also looks like it'll
definitely hit a good distance north of us, so that's good news (for us).
But in any case, we're still being cautious. Since we'll be south of the
hurricane, and they spin counter-clock wise, the Facility in the Middle of
Nowhere is in the lee of the building, so we won't get the full force of the
wind coming from the north and west (one reason I parked the car there—
another reason, it may act as a shield for flying debris and I'd rather have
the insured car get hit than us or the building). We've also cleaned out the
Harry Potter Closet for possible occupation (something all the neighbors are
doing as well—well, they won't be staying in out Harry Potter Closet, but
each unit around here has a Harry Potter Closet so ₀ well … you get the
idea). And there are the three five gallon jugs filled with water (along with
nearly every other empty container). So we should be fine.

At least, it looks like it.
