Waiting for Hanna, part 1

8.30 a.m. Misty and wet underfoot. Very light breeze. I can hear the ocean, on the other side of the barrier island.

It rained in the night; the first bands of weather from Tropical Storm Hanna. We're expecting wind to increase around lunchtime, with the worst to hit after 8 p.m. this evening.

View from the deck this morning; shades of white. The sun is trying to break through.
