Random Thoughts Sechs: Eeeeehhhh...

I think I'll just stay put.

I still had the same job? One does not lightly cast aside employment when one lives in the country.

Would not have prevented you from looking for a new job, right?
Unless you like your job.
Then you could have at least move house in between... or not?

Hm, Athens is far uglier (even) than what i remembered...

My cats are acting up. I think they know a storm is coming.

There's rain and some wind outside already. The IR satellite image shows this:

Stay safe!

That's the plan. All the windows are closed and everything is charged up and there's batteries. If the power goes out I added a bunch of books to my eReader (it's already getting dark here in the middle of the day, so paper books would be hard to read).

The announcers of the Boston Red Sox game had such fun with this.

One guy was sent to the top of the stadium to report on the effects of the approaching hurricane, "Just some occasional gusts and a little mist."

The guys in the booth responded with the obligatory, "Stay safe!"

The internet died a few times, and the radio station keeps going out or turning to static. I guess it's starting to hit the province.

Oh nooooooooooo. What is wrong with people???

And there's people there right now. What are they thinking?

EDIT: They seem to have left. But there's still a car there. Oh dear.

ANOTHER EDIT: And now there's more cars driving by. And people getting out of the cars. Dammit.

STILL ANOTHER EDIT: And now there's some very big waves.

ANOTHER EDIT: Now I can't even see the lighthouse anymore. But people are still driving by.

I saw a tweet saying everyone in NS is without power but here you are!

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

A pretty significant chunk, but not everyone. I'm expecting it, though.

News people?

Nova Scotia is a peninsula. Here you go:

I went up to the top of the Masstown Market one. The stairs were awful.

I was wondering where they all went. They're are't any in Southern California.

The webcam stopped sending new images. I think their power might have died.

There's a lot of outages: http://outagemap.nspower.ca/external/default.html

Amazingly, the power's still on here. I looked out the window and saw the trees going back and forth like crazy. And I can hear stuff banging around out there too.

For some reason, I keep having reoccurring dreams about areas of my town that don't actually exist, streets and buildings and entire subdivisions. And they remain surprisingly constant between dreams.

Maybe that's a sign that you should make this a location in one of your stories (tweak it as necessary).

I think I'll just stay put.

Thanks for letting us know you're safe. I was concerned for you after seeing some of the videos that are on the news and Weather Network.

Thankfully I'm not on the coast. I'm still surprised that people went out to Peggy's Cove though. Even in calm weather those rocks are dangerous.

The storm passed. Didn't lose power at all. I'm surprised.

Apparently a lot of people did and N.S. Power had to get a lot of people to fix things up. And it'll take a while.

Roads are washed out or closed too.
