The tropical depression threatening us is now officially Cyclone Tomas. The predicted tracking shows it heading right for us. And it is predicted to intensify from a Category 2 to a Category 4 cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 105 knots and gusts to 135 knots. That's actually a bit more meteorological excitement than I hoped for. The center of the storm is expected to pass over us Monday afternoon. It’s a bit windy today but actually feels really nice and fresh. I suspect we’ll start to really feel the storm tomorrow. Unless the tracking changes it seems very likely we’ll be boarding up the house tomorrow as well. The hotel option is sounding more likely as well. Hopefully we won’t lose power and/or internet access so we can keep everyone updated.

I'm not sure how well you'll be able to read the graphic below, but it shows the cyclone moving southwest and changing from a Category 2 to a Category 4. We are on the second largest island just south of the second to last circled 4.
I have enjoyed following your adventures...this one is a little MORE of a concern. Know that I am thinking of you both and your new friends on the Island. May you all be safe!With much love, Denali
