Hurricane Sandy

[L Verge]

It's 5 pm on Saturday afternoon, and everything is literally the quiet before the storm here in the D.C. area. Many of my colorful leaves are now on the ground, but there is absolutely no wind at all. Even the birds, who are usually making a racket this time of the evening, are silent.

If the storm stays on its current path to hit the Delaware Shore, it will hit about 125 miles from me, but I think there are quite a few other friends of this forum who will be as close or closer. I hope all will be well for everyone as we duck and cover. Mother Nature has gotten on my nerves a bit over the past few years...
