At first glance it is hard to tell how windy it is. Look closer, perhaps at my hair, that will tell you everything. In the background you can see the exchange between a couple of lifeguards and a swimmer. They told the swimmer to get out of the water or else they would call the police. A couple of swimmers drowned at the beach yesterday so they are very serious about not being in the water. There is a lot of flooding from the rains, evidently the worst weather seen in this area for a long time. I don't think its too too bad, we braved it an hour ago and went out for lunch during the tornado warning. For the most part we have been playing inside, watching TV and playing Wii, but now we are going to head back out to the beach.

Despite the fact that the Path of our trip Collided with the Path of the Hurricane...
We made it to Jax beach safely. I don't know if this is considered to be "lucky" but the bridge from my brother's house to the airport opened for a span of about 2 hours yesterday, just in time for Andy to pick us up from the airport and take us back to his house on the beach. Now we are inside watching the winds and rains. We walked to the beach but had to shield our eyes from the pellets of sand/water blowing into our faces.
