Conversely, my work offices are right on the water--I hear the windows of which there are a ton) are wind-proof....I'm actually interested to see how they hold up, if it comes to that.
Best wishes to everyone in the path as well; looks like the Carolinas are getting another beating, one way or the other.

Lattitude Adjustment is on the Nekton Pilot in the northern Bahamas. He may just find out how stable that boat is! Hope they get him back safely.

OK your turn to rub it in. Actually we had beautiful weather today and at least we get warnings. You get a quick rumble, the earth starts shaking, the walls vibrate and boom highways are droping. No time to run, no time to hide......Why don't you all just come out to SoCal? I think Dr. B and I could show you a good time. I'm looking out my office window and it's about 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.

These are just a few things I can think of off the top of my head. By the way, taping your windows is useless and only makes it a pain in the neck when you have to remove the tape.
Best of luck to every one and be safe. I'll be monitoring the storm and if anyone needs updates when the power goes out call me while I am at home after 6pm Eastern time during the week, anytime on the weekend (757-229-5179). If I'm not home, I'll call you back. I'll try to get the latest local news from your area on the web and relay it to you. Since I have a dial up service, we wil have to work out some logistics, but it can work. This helped for our neighbors last year when Isabel went through here. We were in Florida and telling them the news in the Virginia Penninsula area.

If you need to evacuate...and make it as far as Houston - my home is open to anyone who might need it!
Keeping my fingers crossed that it heads back to sea!

Thanks to all of you that contacted me with your sincere well wishes. Really touched.
We are on standby at the office as to whether we are leaving for Atlanta to set up temporary operations there.
In the meantime, myself, family in West Palm and Melbourne, Florida are making preparations but hoping for the best.
SD you are such a wonderful and caring bunch of individuals that I'm happy to be a part of.
