The Tropical Storm at blew through last night was quite a bit stronger than I expected! By midnight most of the neighborhood was without electricity and we were getting rain and wind gusts up around 50-60 mph. Luckily, there's only one oak tree between my house and the transformer, so we never lost power, although the TV cable line did break. The streets are littered with branches and leaves, but otherwise things are fine. I had to drive up to Baton Rouge early this morning and didn't get back until around 5:30 p.m. Both my sister's and mother's houses are still without power, which wouldn't be a big problem except for the heat and humidity, so they were happy to come over to our place for dinner and to spend the night in the minimal air conditioning our window units provide. Needless to say, I never got to ride today, but tomorrow should be fine. There's another Tropical Storm heading this way, though, so the weekend could be bad, depending on which way it goes.
Ben just rescheduled the track events for next weekend, so I guess that practically guarantees rain!
