Things about my life.
Since I wrote the last few entries on paper without power, I didn’t have a chance to update the current stats, so here we go. Updated: 9:09 PM EDT on September 18, 2003 Observed at Leesburg, Virginia Temperature 70 °F / 21 °C Humidity 100% Dew Point 70 °F / 21 °C Wind NE at [...]
Power is back on! Woo hoo! It was only out for a little more than an hour. Isabel is down to a tropical storm now. Looks like we might not even top 40MPH top winds. Xander is alseep in his bed. We’re in our room catching up on the storm news on the television and [...]
Xander is in bed with his glowstick. We’re up in our room sgetting ready to go to bed as soon as Mira is fed. Hopefully we’ll wake up later tonight when the power comes back on. There is power across town around Home Depot. It looks like there are people working on on 15 around [...]
Power is out. It’s quite dark. We’re using flashlights and glow sticks to see by right now.
It’s starting to get dark outside. We lost power again for a little while before dinner, it was out for about 10 minutes before it came back on. We’ve been very lucky in that regard so far. There are 1.2 million pepople in Virginia without power right now. Updated: 7:08 PM EDT on September 18, [...]
Looks like the data from Weather Underground for Leesburg isn’t all that accurate. The data for Dulles looks a lot more like what I’m seeing out side as far as the wind speeds go. I’ll keep reporting the Leesburg data though to be consistent. Things are pretty windy outside now. Some of the trees are [...]
We’ve had our first power flicker. Two brown outs that made everything not on a UPS powercycle. With any luck we’ll make without too many more of those. I don’t know where Weather Underground gets its info, but it is quite a bit past overcast here. It’s raining pretty hard. Wind still isn’t very bad [...]
Rain is getting heavier. The wind is starting to pick up as well and is gusting quite a bit now. From Weather Underground Updated: 3:24 PM EDT on September 18, 2003 Observed at Leesburg, Virginia Temperature 64 °F / 18 °C Humidity 100% Dew Point 64 °F / 18 °C Wind North at 14 mph [...]
Mira just rolled over! She’s been on the edge of doing it for a few days now. She went from back to front all by herself just now though.
It’s raining fairly steady now. Steady wind, but still only around 10MPH. From Weather Underground Updated: 2:24 PM EDT on September 18, 2003 Observed at Leesburg, Virginia Temperature 64 °F / 18 °C Humidity 94% Dew Point 63 °F / 17 °C Wind North at 10 mph / 16.1 km/h Wind Gust 22 mph / [...]
Still not much change. The wind is a little bit stronger and we’ve had a little sprinkle of rain, but that’s it so far. Looking at the radar it looks like we are just on the edge of where things start to ramp up. From Weather Underground Updated: 1:04 PM EDT on September 18, 2003 [...]
My copy of Jedi Academy came yesterday. With all the hurricane preparation I didn’t get a chance to play it very much. I did manage to make it through one mission though, and it was quite fun. After playing the demo, where you play as a fairly advanced character, it’s neat to see my character [...]
There is a light breeze outside right now and it’s starting to drizzle a little bit. We’ve gotten everything inside from off the porch except the grill, which we’ve bungied to the railing. Not much else we can do but wait. I’ll be giving stats from Weather Underground in my updates. Temperature 63 °F / [...]
