Xomba Special Weather Alert #4
Xomba Special Weather Alert #4
Welcome to Xomba's (non)Severe weather team's ongoing coverage of tropical storm(not quite a hurricane) Fay.
Major Tropical Storm Update 9:30am Thursday - Fay has done absolutely nothing overnight.
Winds have picked up to around 20-30mph with a little higher gusts. Locals have taken to swimming at the beach this morning to demonstrate acts of bravery.
Local news is now in their 36th hour of panic mode. With news crews patrolling the streets looking for downed tree branches and crazy yokels.
Our power did begin to flicker last night several times which prompted us to move to a Stage 2 (non)severe weather alert.
After checking our local Gnome rainfall measuring device we are closing in on half a inch.
Conditions should worsen if Fay is likely to move on shore within the next 12-24 months.
Our weather team has begun the Star Wars marathon. We are 23 minutes into Episode 1.
We'll be back with an update in a few hours.

11'o Clock On Fay
I'll be posting a real update around lunch. About an hour or so.
The National Weather Service issued the 11am alert just now.
Quote from them "THERE IS BASICALLY NOTHING NEW TO REPORT."
Seriously, the storm is just hanging out.
A small French cafe next to us has put out chairs and tables for lunch. Even though we have rain and about 15-25mph winds. Gusts as high as 40mph.
Anyhow, almost done with Episode 1. I have pictures next update.
Then why the gloom!
the black front page and skeletons at 15mph? just inquisitive - what will the (non) severe team do in case of a power cut? i mean, will they start the star wars all over again?

good question
My laptop is charged. I have alternative internet access through Verizon if I must go that route. My blackberry is charged.
But if (and when) we lose power we have lots of board games and kites. Should be fun as long as it doesn't get to hot.
We'll probably lose power. Most likely later this evening.
oh!
having fun, are you? will xomba be down too?
but seriously, i have been through one of the worst hurricane/cyclone of maybe this last half-century, the experience was so so tragic. i dont have photos...but we still get the creeps when we think of that fortnight. it was called a supercyclone, btw.
take care xomba team
