Updates from the phone

8:19 pm.  Kids in bed with flashlights.  Cats in bed with kids.  I am settling in to read for awhile and listen to the storm.  It is kind of soothing and peaceful in a way.

6:42 pm - Power officially out.

6:28 pm -  Wow the wind is LOUD!

6:10 pm - Power went out for a minute and came back.  Bossy not handling it well.  Decided to shower kids just in case.  Discovered that the plug in the tub leaks and all the water I had filled earlier today drained out.

5:08 pm - Raining like a champ.  Big gusts of wind.  One just blew open the back door.

4:00 pm -  Not much happening.  Mayor put an 8pm curfew in effect.

2:40 pm - Power flashed on and off.  

12:58 pm - He arrived safely.

12:54 pm - More rain than earlier.  The wind definitely gusts.  But the power is still on for now.  News says the worst will be from 3pm to 3am.   G-man said the grocery store was very busy.  He left about 20-25 min ago to go to the office.  Haven't heard from him yet that he has arrived.

11:02 am - Just testing my mobile app.  Still have power.  Storm has gotten stronger, with winds up to 90mph.
