The rain has stopped as quickly as it had begun. Now there is not a breeze moving. Nothing. Not even the lightest of flower stems - nothing. I remember these times - from the other Hurricanes - Rita, Dolly, Ike - it's like whatever is going to happen is sucking all the air out of the system and storing it inside a big huge ballooned belly just so it can blow it back out at us at some point. Very quiet. Very still. Approximately twenty four more hours to go.

Tomorrow I shall cut me out another quilt top - I'll make good production time out of this wait time. I also am going to go around and take some photos - see how others are preparing - or are they?
