Hey, yes, thank God it is looking better. Earlier today there was a bit of panic out there and there was a run on supplies as we haven’t had a major storm since ‘98. Things have calmed down a bit tonight but we’ll definitely keep an eye on this one and the one behind it. These next couple of weeks are very stressful for us as we feel like we’re on the wrong end of a shooting range with all those Cape Verde storms spawning out there. I’m sure you know the feeling!

I’ll keep you posted on the local and regional circus as events warrant...
