Yes, sure hope they shut down your wife's office, Jim. It won't be any fun getting downtown tomorrow even without rain bands from the storm.
I just got back from the Sailing Squadron with our little sailboat in tow. There was an impressive squall while we were taking down the mast, black clouds screaming by, horizontal rain going fast enough to sting your face soaked me in about 2 minutes, before I could tie down and attach the trailer, and get into the truck. Rain only lasted about 5 minutes, though. Let's hope with the storm itself moving pretty fast, the rain bands will go by quickly and not drown us too much. But keep your snorkel and gator repellent handy!
Can't wait to see your new orchids.
