We had a good blow, some big waves, heavy rain and interesting cloud formations.

We all ran out and bought our wind-up radios, batteries, and tins of tuna.

Then we sat and waited for it to hit.

Stupid people went out on the rocks where furious waves were crashing.  Some were sucked in but none were killed.

Luckily the hurricane and its most extreme elements stayed offshore and within a few hours it was over.

Phew! Close call.
