9:30 pm – so far, gusts have only gotten as high as 35 mph, but it is still early. However, I am fading, so unless the wind wakes me, I might not be reporting much tonight.

Check out the NOAA urgent weather advisory beginning at 10 pm tonight. Extremely high winds – up to 50 mph – as well as rain. Click on the NOAA Discussion link to the right, as i still dont have the hang of copy and paste on my iPhone. I’m in town doing grocery shopping, as I have been sicker than a dog the last 3 days.

When I get home, I’ll let you know what my wind and rain gauge indicate later tonight.

  • Sorry you are sick, bsk...rest, get down some warm soup, candy bar for energy. Repeat until better. You are appreciated by so many.

  • Ditto on the above post, Kate. I also read about the high wind advisory thru tonite until tomorrow a.m.
    If you're driving home tonite, I hope it's sooner rather than later.
    Be safe!
