The pumps are still working at the soggy south end of our street & the debris piles are mounting all over the Island from Miss Florence. Maybe paving over paradise wasn't such a great idea after all. Friday and Saturday were gorgeous fall days, windows open throughout. It's warming up at bit today, but we'll keep the A/C off until we can't stand the humidity any more. A mixed batch of SCT clouds this morning, mild, northerly wind at 4-7 mph. Barometer up to 30.31.
