Well, my fellow port-swillers, I will be off line for the next few days, so no hurricane blogging this weekend. (Not that I don’t want to, but the port-swiller home computer is currently out of action and I am in the process of determining whether to fix it or simply take it out back and shoot it.) In any event, it would seem as if the port-swiller residence is right on the knife-edge in terms of what comes next. Depending on which way the storm track jigs, we’ll either need a lifeboat in the basement, or else will come out high and dry. I’ve given up trying to guess which, although my hunch is that we’ll get a few rain bands but nothing blog-worthy.
For those of you living closer to the ocean and farther up the East Coast, stay safe and we’ll see you on the other side.
Cheers!

Light a blessed candle. According to Catholic tradition, they help bring protection during such times of danger.

So do you have a preferred label to weather a hurricane, or is it any port in a storm?

I didn’t see much in the way of damage in the Del Ray area or in Clarendon around my church. What was more surprising to me was that the Potomac along the GW Parkway was still within its banks. I guess all of that rain we got in the area either fell to the east or hasn’t made it downstream yet.
