The wind actually did blow the chairs around and we put them in the garage.

Hurricane formed off the coast this week and was to go close to Southport. So naturally, I went down to St. James for the weekend.
Actually had already planned to come down here and arrived Wednesday.
Thursday was rainy and stormy with wind gusts - but not really much more than a prolonged thunderstorm. Heavy downpours though - with each passing rain band. The hurricane eye passed by within 20 miles - but it was such a small and weak storm - even just 20 miles away - the winds went from 90 mph sustained to just 30 mph gusts.
Not that it's wise to go to the beach with a hurricane - its just that forecasting has gotten so good that it was obvious it was going to be a non-event storm.
We had lunch with Boseman yesterday. Went over to the beach today and we got pizza and a sandwich. Just hanging out today and watching a little TV. We were going to grill out steaks but we really weren't hungry so we just ended up doing nothing.
Might go back to Sandford tomorrow - have grass to cut and chores to do.
May also add to this entry as the weekend goes on.

Be careful out there.
The "weather" skipped over Virginia, giving us here in the shadow of the capital, a glorious, simply warm day on the Fourth, complete with gentle breezes. (This won't last! :) mike
