In the Path of Hurricane Irene

The NYTimes had this picture on their webpage.  I think it is charming.

 That cat has the same silhouette as a cat I knew and loved years ago.

Lots and lots of fire trucks and trucks with cranes and other equipment have been going by all day. Lots of sirens, too. The wind is blowing stuff around and the ground is covered with leaves and debris. People are starting to get on the streets. There must be stuff open.

It never rained, and I just looked at the forecast and it said partly cloudy chance of rain only 10%.

hmm..

 It's just raining here, off and on.  I don't know whether we're going to get clobbered tonight or what!

My area had several brief power blips, but, nothing much more then that......<knock on wood>  Not much rain right now, still some gusty winds.  We seem to have avoided the worst of the storm.  Areas out west got pounded.  Over 100,000 people are without power in NH alone.  I know that's a fraction of what the south got.  But,  for NH thats a high percentage.  The real flood problems are happening in Vermont and the Border areas of NH/VT.   All emergency crews are still on alert till later tonight.  I've been cat napping all day in case of an all nighter coming up.

we are having minor outages - more like brownouts and the cable has been iffy which means iffy internet too. they are asking us not to use cell phones so if it goes out i will be back when the net comes back.

It is uncanny how cat - like cat silhouettes tend to be.

 They don't all look alike; the cat in the photo has a hint of a paunch just like the cat I loved.  Paunches are lovable.
