Here comes Dennis

The barometer here in Birmingham has dropped 6 points in the last hour. I guess we're gonna get it. The wind has been blowing on and off for the last hour. Now it's an erie quiet and still.

The Babalu Blog has some minute by minute observations from Cuba.

Illc0mmunication just missed a flood, but high tide is still an hour away.

One of my favorite bloggers, Beth from My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has a roundup of hurricane related posts (and some not so hurricane related) here. Beth's down in the Mobile area, where Dennis is beating the hell out of the coast, good luck down there Beth.

Check out Weather.com or Accuweather (which has a better track record for Hurricane forcasting) for up to the minute updates.

As for me, I've locked up the house, moved the cars inside and battened down all the hatches. I'm heading up to the family enclave on top of the hill where Sunday dinner is more assured with a natural gas stove. Plus my area will almost certainly lose power sometime tonight. Ivan took down trees and power lines that kept my area in the dark for 4 days.

I love Hurricanes, kinda makes me wish I was still living in New Orleans to see the nutria and snakes swimming down the street.
