I hear you guys are going to get more than a bit of rain out there! Aren't you worried about flooding?

Yup, I'm having Beijing duck and pears and ginger cookies. I'm eatin' well during the hurricane! Sigh, only a tropical storm now -- so much less panache.

Maybe by the time it reaches you the winds are much slower?

Our local weather forecast says up to 1/2 inch of rain tonight, clearing by morning to partly cloudy. I suppose they could be wrong. The only floods we have to worry about are the ones on our basement when the city storm drain backs up in it because the idiot city won't come and put in a check valve at the street.
