Hatches Battened
January 4th, 2008 by Vicki Baker
Here in Surf City the second and most powerful of three back to back winter storms is just making landfall. Gusts up to 50 mph are predicted, with 20 foot ocean swells. Surf’s up with a vengeance!
The power has gone out briefly twice this morning, so if you don’t hear from me in a while you’ll know why. We’re well stocked up on groceries, candles, reading matter, and charged batteries. I’m looking forward to weathering the storm safe inside, glad that I don’t have to go and be anywhere. I salute all the utility crews and emergency workers who are out there in the storm, and I hope all the homeless have found safe harbor.

So, you live in Huntington Beach?
I think you are just trying to wiggle in some promotion for your surf city. 
I hope all goes well for you!

Vicki: The size of that storm makes the U.S. look small. I’d like to tell you that I’m doing something for you, by saying like “I’ll pray for you.” http://dangerousintersection.org/?p=1231
Let us know how it was, once you’re back on line . . .
Proj: it seems to be a rather effective promotional piece!

I’m back. Half of our walnut tree fell over but all is well.
