In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
Everybody I know got through this one okay. Lots of wind, lots of rain, and a day without power and with spotty phone service (they seem to be able to make outgoing calls fine, but incoming calls disappear into the twilight zone), but no damage to their homes or to life and limb.
More later...
Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.
WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.

I'm still waiting to hear from my mother who stayed with Red Cross. I'm glad all your loved ones and friends are o.k. I know how heart-wrenching it is trying to find everyone again after a hurricane.
