Hunker Down - Well, your trusty correspondent is already reporting via battery power here in Norfolk. We lost early in the power outage lottery, and I bet Va. Power won't be even thinking about coming out to fix the lines until the storm passes tonight. Since battery power won't last long, here are a couple of links to help you follow the storms progress: local weather radar and a webcam strategically located at Lynnhaven Inlet in Virginia Beach. Meanwhile, we've seen strong gusts (40-50 mph) and slanted rain, but nothing too bad. The lawns and streets are a litter of tree branches and leaves. Pretty impressive considering the eye still hasn't come ashore 200 miles south in North Carolina. But that's what you get on the more dangerous right-hand (east) side of a hurricane. Maybe I'll have one more report later. Signing off...
