well, the *last* time I said "It's only a Tropical Storm..."

we got clobbered by TS Arthur.



trust me, I'll never say that again!

I was dumbfounded and astonished by the sheer quantity of rain and wind.

luckily, I haven't (yet) seen a real hurricane here in the tropics.



glad all is well so far, Char, River, & Laura...

and keep us posted, okay?
