Can’t hear wind over the dog’s snoring. It is ‘major hurricane force’ winds and I know the rain is pouring down – just not around me.
But the real problem is how long Harvey reportedly is going to linger, so we’ll see in a few days how water-logged everyone is.
People in town have been without power since five this afternoon. As of 11:00 I still do.
Wind gusts, some rain, lights have flickered a bit, but still have power, am stretched out on the couch (bed is in an alcove under the roof where a tree limb is close enough that I move during really bad windstorms just because I have my paranoia). Catching up on podcasts.
Power flickered out for a second, so computer off and switching to mobile. Still more high gusts of wind to worry about if anything. Because of the rotation and location, winds are actually coming in from the west. Storm is going to land north of me and looks like most of the rain will dump in Victoria.
Sightseeing in Dorthonion: the Ent and his Wife (10/?)
Wind gusts are starting to get strong (the harrier still wants to go outside like normal; I may have laughed at her. waiting for the thunder to start – she’s very sensitive about the noise). Still haven’t lost power or internet – downtown (and out on the island) a few areas have lost power, but also a trampoline that wasn’t tied down flew up and hit a power-line, so that’s the likely cause. Debating with myself if to sew on a replace button on this shirt I just ironed. Am very bored, so if anyone wants to chat~
been raining steadily but not heavy. looks like it’s swinging north- Rockport will get the worst of it. Sorry if these post updates worry the feed- tbh I feel my biggest problem is going to be boredom for the next few days. That and half the windows boarded up so I only have good bright natural lighting in two rooms. (Even w/ the rain, sky outside is very light) Not as worried about loosing power or the roads flooding as I would if I lived in-town – and I have family and plans to evac and places to go to if worst comes to worse.
Feels like Ossë is being a doll-face and coming over for my birthday.

Horses are both a dire necessity in the fledgling war against Morgoth and a pressing grievance among the Noldor during those initial years in Beleriand. Prince Fingolfin and his followers need them. And they don’t have them.
working on expanding the Horse Theft story to post to Ao3. Trying not to stand on my soapboxes.
Harvey update- he ain’t here yet. Some light sprinkling of rain right now. Am working on the mammoth pile of ironing. Dog will drive me crazy before anything else.
