Fay Finally Fades

Thursday night and Fright was by far the worst part of the storm for us. The wind was howling overnight and the lights went out a few times. But we escaped unharmed and dry. The biggest problem was that the cable was out all day on Friday. So I had nothing better to do but clean the house.

Apparently Fay set a few records. I heard it was the first storm to strike the coast in 4 places. The forecasters admitted it was difficult to predict. With the storm moving only a few miles per hour, the directional forecasts seemed accurate within about 45 degrees.

The funny thing about having 2 days off was that I got nothing accomplished. After talking to some coworkers today, I realized I wasn't alone. We all loafed around and watched the winds blow. Then it sounded like cabin fever struck us hard yesterday. I went to the beach for some photos. Even after another baby shower today, I'm still restless.
