9:00 p.m. Hurricane Update

Well, it looks like we're not going to get much of a hit around here in NOLa. We have just started getting a little light rain in the last half hour, and the wind is still quite strong, but nothing remotely like what they're getting around Mobile and along the coast East of there. The center of the storm is still well offshore and won't really hit for another three to five hours. Obviously, we still have power here, although there have been a few isloated outages around town. I think it is possible that I'll be able to do a training ride some time tomorrow, especially since Tulane has officially given up hope that they can resume normal operations by then. I don't know what they were thinking earlier when they said they expected everyone to be back at work on Friday. I mean, most of the students and residents of the city left town, and there's no way they were going to be able to get back in time.

Good; hopefully it won't be so bad there. :) As for my other southern friends closer... =/ Bored, eh? I could imagine so. I'm a bit occupied at the time being at the computer, but can chat now and then on AIM tonight: ESmusketeer. Send a message anytime! :)
