Here it is, baby's-first-hurricane! We've "battened down the hatches" and readied the supplies. The winds have been steadily increasing throughout the day and we've seen a few bands of showers, though the full impact of the hurricane won't start for another few hours. The eye of the storm is passing to the east of us, so we're lucky in that regard - we'll have driving rain and winds out of the N/NE all night, but by morning it should clear (and then I'll be checking in with family in New England to see how they're faring!).
Here is a little video action to show the conditions around 4:30pm this afternoon-

- Nate, Salinda and Owen
- For the past two years, our family has been on a US tour. After living in NC for 8 years, in the summer of 2008 we moved to Corvallis, OR, where Nate had a brief post-doc position. In the summer of 2009 we moved again, to Green Bay, WI, where Nate began as a new professor of aquatic ecology at UW-Green Bay. We welcomed Baby Owen on Sept 10, 2009. Now we've moved again, back to our original starting point in eastern NC. And we feel like we're here for good.
