But I still missed the storm.
She was weak. As in, like so weak, if I hadn't know there was a tropical storm passing overhead, thanks to the news, I wouldn't even have known there was a storm at all. I saw a lot of wind, only because I kept looking out the window to see if it was windy, but we got almost no rain at our house. I do think a leaf blew off the third tree from the driveway.
I've seen much worse on a normal summer day here in Virginia, normal here meaning torrential downpours, actual waves going down our street, and the patio umbrella ending up in the neighbor's yard (for those people who might have a particular interest in our replacement patio umbrella, we did take the precaution of putting it in the garage, so it has survived to shelter us again and we are still grateful to you for providing said umbrella).
But thanks to our housebound-ness due to the anticipated storm, the pantry is sparkling clean, down to the corners behind the molding. And I took this opportunity to clean out old hurricane supplies. Call me crazy, but it would take one hell of a storm to get me to eat a can of mixed greens that expired in 2006.

Ditto, that.
It rained here, but we've seen worse from storms with no names. Much much worse.
I was mostly giddy with happiness that the power didn't go out.
:)
I can't imagine how horrible it must be to sit at home waiting for something so uncontrolable. Glad you did not notice much this time! And what a great way to get some cleaning done! :-)
Two year old green beans - yeah, it would have to be pretty bad...
Glad to hear things weren't too bad. Here in the midwest we don't have to worry about hurricanes. I guess that's a good thing.
