21. Every storm cloud has a silver lining my friends.....

Sandy's silver lining is that for at least several days, our pockets remain unpicked by the market place thieves.

I am embarrassed to say we are having picture perfect weather here.....but I am in absolute sympathy for the folks in the eastern seaboard. Our electricity crews left Houston in their cherry pickers day before yesterday. Many of the Storm Prep people on the East coast got invaluable training here during Ike and got to do a first run through during Irene. They have been in contact with our folks here fine tuning the response.

The amateur scientist in me cannot help be fascinated by watching these storm calls collide. I don't think we have been able to observe this before. I fear that some people may get caught with their pants down like some did with Ike when it hit Galveston.

Wishing you all warmth and safety.
