JSC and all the contractors shut down at noon today and we will be off tomorrow as well while the storm is at its worst. We'll see how this goes, but I'm ready for you Ed!

Red Rover, Red Rover, Send Edouard Over
Looks like Edouard spun up from a nothing to a something in about 24hrs and is tracking straight over Galveston/Houston, e.g. me. Since it's so close to land the prediction puts it at either a strong tropical storm (60-73mph winds) or minimal Cat 1 hurricane (75-85 mph). Either way, I am riding out the storm at home with the puppies. I live in a Cat 3 evacutation area, so I am quite comfortable for this one. Given the short notice and limited intensification, I am also not going to get the boards up on the windows, but I don't know anyone that is. I did make one very important hurricane preparation with regard to the garage, see below. Took a little work, but I monkey'd things around enough for this. I am well stocked on water and food and I have a gas stove and, if nothing else, a grill.

We spent the afternoon in the pool under a cloudless sky. Strange, given that we had the afternoon off waiting for the storm!
We're ready Edouard!
Edouard left our area around 1PM today. He was kind of a let down really (after all the preparation) but I rather have a TS disappointment than anything destructive (read I'm not asking for a hurricane)! We went out for a late lunch and to browse B&N. Nice relaxing paid day off - thanks Edouard!
