melissa and i have been making pretty heavy use of the split screen on the tv, with news on both screens, or news on one and panel de pon (tetris attack) on the other, or adult swim or something else on to take our minds off the weather while waiting for the next feeder band to come through.
it is a waiting game more than anything else at this point. i am not really worried about my house flooding or about the winds doing any direct damage. i have concerns over my neighbor's tree (one that was damaged by charlie), but thus far it has stayed intact, and the winds favorable to not hitting our house if decides to come down.
but for now the waiting is killing me more than anything else. my internal clock is set by the national weather service. major updates are at 5 and 11 both am and pm, with suplementary updates at 8 and 2. not that it really matters much anymore with the eye coming on shore, everything i need comes from the local weather.
i need a nap, i have been up for a while and i didn't sleep well last night. go figure.
