yet

isn't it supposed to peak there this afternoon?

yes...they say the worst of the winds will be between 4-7. The speeds have been reduced, it's more like a normal storm now

Hah Nikki - I could lose power but yes lots and lots of batteries! I have a headllight thingy I use when I go camping

it is great for reading!

good to hear!
