I opened my eyes at seven am to a tiny bit of wind outside my window and turned on the tv to get a storm update before getting out of bed. I didn’t even have my two feet on the floor yet and out went the power. “Great!”, I thought, “I don’t even have a storm yet, but I lost power already.” Just as I was about to go downstairs, the power came back on. Phew! There would be hot coffee.
8:30am – winds here in Sandwich are not any stronger than normal. It’s a bit darker out now, than when I got up, but not raining. The cape is supposed to get very little rain. I’m counting every hour with power as a good one.
Today I will post this blog in parts so my friends and family will know we are safe all day.
And so, as the morning passes, no sign of Irene on my doorstep yet, and…I will keep writing.
stay safe down there today
