A blog
from my Hub
As I sit
here writing this at just after 2 PM my time, Sandy is starting to batter
Baltimore with increasing rain fall and noticeable winds. The eye of the storm
is some 300 miles off Philadelphia and it seems to be turning faster toward the
coast, speeding up as it comes. There is now some suggestion that Baltimore is
rather more in its path than first thought.
I managed
a few hours of important meetings this morning, but now the streets are empty
with an advisory not to travel, an advisory which I expect will be compulsorily
before long. Only the foolish would venture out in driving rain and wind which
is now averaging over 30 miles per hour. It's amazing to think that the eye is
at least 10 hours away, maybe longer. The scale of the storm is incredible.
I am 16
floors up in my hotel, sealed in, where I will be staying. I expect we will
lose power at some point, and that the rain will continue for at least 24 hours
due to this slow moving storm. It seems incredible that some places are also
expected to get 60 inches of snow.
So, I do
hope someone has some good idea of why the replica of the Bounty was out on the
high seas today! Crew had to be rescued from the water and I believe 2 are
still missing. I have no clue as to why a sailing ship would try to brave this
kind of weather.
Thank you
for all of your concern. I will stay safe and warm with my phones charged!
"God love him."
