hurricane isabel sucked. as she made her way toward the coast, headed straight to my door, she decided to veer right, leaving us with more than enough wind/rain to make it annoying to walk through, but not enough to shut down duke. power was gone for most around durham for about a day and a half, so the aftermath wasn't bad at all. i even stocked up on yoohoo, bagels, and pastachios (not a very appealing emergency plan, i know, but that's all i bought the day before). thank god it wasn't another hurricane fran, though. i wasn't here when it happened, but supposedly it had rained for two day straight before it came, so when fran finally rolled around, she just ripped trees right out of the ground since their roots were all mushy and loose. then, for about a week with no power, the weather got to be 90+ degrees.
oh well, there's always next year...
