Yep. Just realized that Debby isn't leaving anytime soon. There are already many downed trees and traffic lights in my area, I should probably prepare myself for a power outage, or even worse a cable internet outage.

For the second day in a row yesterday my region was hit with intense thunderstorms that dropped more than an inch of rain in 30 minutes. My office had 4 inches of water in parts of the first floor and the whole island lost power for over an hour. It's pretty difficult to lose power when commercial power is your backup power and you have your own power plant. Not good. Nothing so far today...

It looks like business is about to pick up for me. Stay safe Matt, protect the beer!

Yuck! Do you have a battery powered cable modem?

A band of storms just rolled through, not nearly as bad as yesterday but still enough to overwhelm the storm drains and cause limited, short-term flooding. Seems to be over for now although looking at the radar map a cell is pretty much right over my house...

Yikes. Here's to hoping you don't have a job where Homer Simpson works.
