Hmmmm . . .
Maybe I should go to the beach Sunday morning
and see what the hurricane swells look like.
And if Henri left me anything pretty.

Could get interesting around here Sunday and Monday. Right now, that thing has a bead on us - right about where it goes from Topical Storm Henri to Tropical Depression Henri. It won't be a hurricane when it's this far north but I am giving thought to the likelihood that NH builders probably didn't give much thought to actual hurricanes when they nailed down their roofs.

The new house does have hurricane straps - I've always been a little wary of that 50 mile view. Unfortunately, that's the side Henri will be coming from.

If I remember right, the roof is supposed to handle winds of up to 180 mph. I'll believe that when I see it.

For me, this will be an experience. I was probably in a typhoon when I lived in the Philippines, but I was 2 or 3 at the time. And I was in a nasty derecho in 2011, but it only lasted half an hour.
