Looks like Donna Lange is heading into it.

Yes, and as she said in her last report, she could have been sipping
beer in Bermuda. She thought about it but evidently wasn't able to
reach her weather advisor so relied on the Gribs and faxes. Hopefully
all she'll get is a sound thrashing. The North Atlantic near the
stream can be as rough this time of year as anyplace she's been.

The wind has risen since I posted. It's blowing straight across the
river, now from the West so hard my monitor on this desk is wiggling on
its plastic base. Something big hit the roof about 20 minutes ago,
probably off the oak tree overhead, but I can't find out what it is.
Must still be on the roof I can't see. If this keeps up it'll blow off
by morning.

In the past hour, the wind rises to a peak, somewhere around 40 gusting
50, then slacks to 25 for a few moments and starts rising up that peak,
again. It's just like an offshore hurricane is headed to Charleston,
making the locals very nervous who were here for Hugo in '89....like me!
