NC Penguin

I have the (mis?)fortune to be working in what is possibly the only "skyscraper" in Durham, NC. It's 17 stories tall. If and when the knock on effects of Isabel start (predicted to be tomorrow morning onwards), it'll be interesting working in this building.

I wonder if the building will sway? It'd be no surprise if the electricity went out. It did, momentarily, when we got hit by lightning about a month ago. I'm just glad I don't work on the top floor!

To see the predicted path of Isabel, check

and click on the link named "Storm Tracker". There's a pretty cool video of Isabel and previous hurricanes.

I bet all the windsurfers and kitesurfers there are having a good time?

We haven't had a breath of wind here in Dallas since April, I'm starting to get the windsurfing blues

how far is the drive from Dallas to NC?

Not to great weather for kite surfing unless you want to take your life in your own hands.

Govt. warning at 5pm stated:
STORM SURGE FLOODING OF 7 TO 11 FEET ABOVE NORMAL TIDE LEVELS...
ALONG WITH EXTREMELY LARGE AND DANGEROUS BATTERING WAVES...IS
EXPECTED NEAR AND TO THE NORTH OF WHERE THE CENTER CROSSES THE
COAST. STORM SURGE FLOODING OF 4 TO 8 FT ABOVE NORMAL TIDE LEVELS
IS EXPECTED IN CHESAPEAKE BAY AND THE TIDAL PORTIONS OF ADJACENT
RIVERS.

Normally it's pretty good for surfing/kite surfing though - best wait until next w/e
