Okay, so I was only joking when I said to Gwendolyn, “let that tree fall on the car.”

I went to run the dogs out to piss in the middle of a hurricane and wouldn’t you know, there’s part of the tree on top of my motherfucking car. It’s dark and rainy, so I can’t tell if there was any damage. I was able to move the limb myself, so I would imagine that it will be minimal if there is any. It was probably ten to twelve feet long and the heaviest part of the limb was on the roof of the car. I will have to wait until morning to see.

Black is the color of my living room with the hurricane shutters installed. It is very depressing sitting in a dark room and not being able to go outside.

Periodically I can hear the wind trying to suck the shutters off the wall and they make the sorts of sounds you would expect corrugated steel to make when something is sucking on it. Overall, I would have to say that the winds have been pretty mellow—60-65 mph, tops.

Shouldn’t be too much longer and it’ll be over. I believe the eye should be making landfall in an hour or two and then be over me in another hour or two. It is travelling at a whopping 6 mph. That means a few more hours of wind. After that things’ll be looking up and we will have a week full of really shitty weather. And who doesn’t love really shitty when it is juxtaposed against really windy?

If this site goes offline in the next twenty-four hours, I have lost power. If I lose power, send me ice. It’s HOT!

I have water. Logan and I just put the hurricane shutters up. Now I just need to sit here and hope that I don’t lose this wonderful air conditioning.
