I just got woken up (early to bed, early to rise) by the very loud cell phone emergency alert, followed by frantic calls from family. They’re so dramatic. “That’s a 36 hour alert before the first winds”, I tell them.

A little bit of good news for us that it is tracking a little bit north of the previous advisory. But what a monster storm! It reminds me of Hurricane Luis in 1995.
