Thanks for your concern. It rains a lot but I've yet to encounter
flooded streets. We seem to have excellent drainage. It did cool off
here nicely. It's fantastic to have temps around 70°F and the windows
open after months of 90's and high 80's and tons of humidity.

Glad to hear that Jill. Here, it's been interesting getting about with
a good bit of our 9 cities that make Hampton Roads flooded out in
various spots.

Oddly, I encountered worse street flooding when I lived in west
Tennessee than I ever have on the islands.

Last night John's best friend saw on the Weather Channel these big red
and orange blobs (resulting from Hurricane Joaquin) and insisted he call
to make sure I was okay. I appreciate the concern but (1) he'd just
talked with me that morning and everything was fine and, (2) the Weather
Channel images always make things look much worse than they are.

I do feel for the people who are experiencing bad flooding. I also wish
I could have sent some of my summer rain rain to drought-stricken areas
out west.

I was indirectly affected by it. I ended up sitting in an airport
waiting for a flight to come in. I thought things were going to fall
together nicely. We had a friend visiting from the Netherlands who had
to catch a 2 pm flight to Boston. Then we had to be there to pick up
our son at 5:45. That gave us time go for lunch and a trip to the art
gallery. Then we would pick him up and go to a Chinese restaurant for
supper.

Despite thinks being backed up a little at the border, we made it the
thee in good time and dropped off our friend. We weren't really hungry
so we just went for a bagel and coffee. We lucked out at the gallery.
First the parking was free, compliments of a bank promotion. Then when I
went to pay the admission it turned out to be free as well, part of a
First Friday program.

We went back to the airport on good time and then got a call from our
son telling us that his flight had been cancelled he would not know for
an hour what was going to happen. He said we grab supper and he would
get back to us. We found a nice Irish pub in Williamsville, just a few
miles from the airport and headed back. We were pleased to hear that
his flight was back on and they were away from the gate but still on the
ground at JFK.

As it turned out, there had been a weather delay, then a mechanical
problem. The mechanical problem was fixed, but then there was back up on
take-offs. He was concerned that the flight was going to be cancelled
again because the weather was so bad and getting worse by the minute.
He showed up at 9:30 instead of 5:45 but was exhausted. He had started
off in St.Petersburg Russia at 6 am ... had to be at the airport at 3 am
their time, flew to Paris and then to NY and the third leg to Buffalo.

Same here. Looks like we unexpectedly dodged a bullet here in Hampton
Roads. I'm not saying we didnt have flooding, but it was not as bad as
it could have been.
