Woot! Ernesto is coming!

It's high tide here at Isle of Palms, SC and it's a VERY high tide. Ernesto isn't supposed to be here until this evening, if it even comes -- it might skip us mostly and make landfall up north in Myrtle Beach. It is very stormy and windy here though -- big excitement. So, what is everyone doing to pass the time during this wannabe hurricane?

I'm making skirts.
Benny and Dan are playing with Google Earth.
Sadie is eating Goldfish crackers.
Ahno is looking out the window, reporting how high the tide is getting.

It's a shame -- the people in the houses next to us have piled up truckloads and truckloads of sand in front of their places to try and slow the beach erosion that's been going on, and now it's mostly getting washed away. I'm going to go and try to get some pictures and video now. If Ernesto actually comes, the only thing we really dread is the power outage. Everything else is just drama, and we love drama!
