Lovely Little Isabel

Hurricane Isabel moved inland this evening. Despite dire predictions and massive closings, including the entire federal government in Washington, DC, once again this storm has proved that the weather wonks are Chicken Littles. A "catgeory 5" this ain't, that's for sure. A little wind -- 30 mph here in Northern Virginia -- and a bit of rain, but hardly anything to get worked up about. Of course, I am writing this on a battery-powered laptop, as the electricity is out. Just a wee touch of adventure in an otherwise very forgettable hurricane.
