Local houses and businesses were preparing early for the storm by boarding up. The station did this as well.
While it is pretty windy here, we're certainly not seeing any of the hurricane yet. The palm trees especially look quite elastic, but also prone to snapping in their middle. We'll see. The hurricane has lessened to a category 2. However, it is still moving quite slowly and could cause major damage to the island.
Various hurricane parties and monopoly games have started here. I think most people are using the internet to send last minute reassurances as none of us know how long we may be without internet. We probably will have it for another nine hours or so, but that is just a guess.
I like

with 'clouds on' to get a picture of the oncoming storm.
A cat that hangs around the BIOS station has joined our company for the night. No one really knows what to expect but I think we're all interested to see what it is like, and anxious for it to start. Waiting is hard.
