Hurricane Irene

OK I think we're ready. Dad had us pick up all our toys in the back yard, and everything is stuffed onto the back porch.

We're going to track the wind too. We tied a yarn to the front railing tied to a bubble wand...(one of the heavier models), and we're going to track to see how many 'rungs strong' the wind is tomorrow. As it should be coming straight at the house. We'll have to calibrate our wind 'measurer' by what the officials actually track with their fancy equipment.

(yah, mom was a science nerd, and so we're doomed to be too. :) )

We'll keep you updated if there's anything good to report.

We're due for heavy rain/wind tomorrow afternoon.

So far: cloudy and light rain and 0 wind.

Love,

The 3 guys
