Ridin' the Storm Out

"Ridin' the storm out/ Ridin' the storm out." REO Speedwagon

Hurricane Irene is slowly making her presense known in VA. It's been a stormy day, full of wind, torrential rain, and tornado warnings, and the worst is yet to come. Right now it's the calm before the storm (think CCR's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain"), with gusty winds but no rain at the moment. The next five or six hours should be interesting if the weather people know what they're talking about. What? They don't? Normally I would agree, but so far they've been pretty right on with their forecast for Irene. I'm hoping to get some cool photos this evening, and if I still have power later on (fingers crossed!) I will post them for all to see.

So, it's been exciting so far, but nothing huge...yet!
