Battling the wind, and boredom

Us: 27.88 N, 82.28 W
It: 27.7 N, 81.2 W


The privacy fence on the south side of our backyard is starting to get a bit shaky. The pool screen has a minor breach. Leaves and twigs are scattered about on the street in front of our house. Light rain is being buffeted by 40 mph winds.

Other than that, not much is happening here at 27.88/82.28. The Mini-Humans -- the Old Daughter, 10, the Boy, 5, and the Young Daughter, 3 -- are tired of watching the 24-Hour Doppler on TV. They want to watch Toy Story.

At some point, we're going to have to come up with something for them to do. This weather is going to continue on this pace pretty much all day and well into the evening -- light rain and moderate wind, with occasional bursts from a squall.

We're told that 60,000 in Hillsborough County are already without power -- including one of the largest shelters. That's gonna get ugly.
