rootofnewt | this is vacation?

arrived after hellish traffic and major storms (including tornado warnings, as we discovered later)... i would have kept an eye on the sky during such a massive storm, but i couldn't see more than 100 feet and was concentrating on the road. after i passed the worst of it, the sky looked purple, so i wasn't too worried.

it's green skies we care about. ;)

anyhow... we tried to walk on the beach this evening, but it was closed, with EMS patrols going up and down the shore. there was at least one news crew. later, we watched the news and discovered that shortly after the search was called off, a man's body washed up further downshore. he was from Harrisonburg.

lightning also struck someone's house, and a boy drowned in his pool in Chesapeake. My in-laws have chosen to vacation in the Apocalypse Zone.

On the other hand, we should be fairly safe the rest of the week.

I downloaded evil compuserve software onto boy's machine before we left... we're using the in-laws' account, but not often. i'm on vacation. ;)

It's bedtime.
