Hello Dolly!
Posted by enrico | Under In the News Wednesday Jul 23, 2008Well, I figure I should get a post about Hurricane Dolly out there before we lose power for a while–an inevitability around here as of late even with non-newsworthy thunderstorms. Over the last few days, I’ve been tracking the various computer models of where the storm was going, and there has been striking concordance with the various predictions:
As of this writing, the storm is just about to make official landfall. The radar, with my position tagged, looks like this:
Anyway, just a quick note to have something here for posterity. Power and/or internet will surely go out, but as long as I have both, I’m checking various radar sources regularly. I also have my Blackberry and probably will Twitter things from time to time, so check the sidebar. I had ideas of doing a Qik-like live storm feed, but I value being dry and not having various debris missiles whacking me in the head (not to mention ruining said electronic equipment). Who knows…I might still venture out and get some footage, but I can promise it will be shared after-the-fact.
Pressing “Publish” and hoping for the best!
(quick update: I can’t seem to separate the images and flow with the text the way I want, so sorry about that if it still looks wonky. I’m HTML/CSS challenged more than usual today)
