So it’s coming up on 18:00 hours – for you 24 hour challenged types that’s 6:00PM.
In Providence the wind is picking up – with brief gusts that make it hard to walk but not too bad.
I do know a few things from venturing out on foot though.
RIPTA stopped running at noontime. Way to strand people!
I don’t see ANY police cruisers on the road. In fact there’s very little traffic.
The Woonasquatucket River is rising – but it’s got about four feet or so to go before it overflows it’s banks. And we’re seriously UPHILL from that river so I don’t worry too much.
The power is still on. I doubt it’ll go out – because we never lose power due to weather events, instead we lose power due to National Grid’s little fuck ups.
The only flooding is due to the storm drains being plugged with leaves. I note that after last year I had commented to my city councilor that they should wait until all the leaves fall before they muck out the drains. I think that got the attention of a few people. Good – wait until it all falls down.
And the flooding I speak of is mostly puddles.
Spewing Truth in the face of Lies 
Ngs aren’t bad on the East Side yet either. Few trees down, but the power is still on.
This morning my husband Greg criticized the public transportation companies for suspending service all day today. I told him if they ran in the morning then stopped for the afternoon/evening, thousands of people would be stranded at work with no way to get home. He understood and agreed it’s better to suspend for the entire day. Perhaps I should have explained this to RIPTA this morning also.
be careful
Ha – I’ve been out in real hurricanes. This is just a little blowjob!
If I lived in flyover country I’d probably be one of those storm chasers.
I lived in Florida for 18 years. Too many hurricanes!! I was thinking about you all day yesterday. if you need to refugee, let me know!
Consider this year there were 19 named storms thus far. That’s not good either. And honestly – don’t need refuge living where I live.
how are things now? I am touring blogs today, and getting caught up, as it were…..
Things are fine in Providence. The southern part of the state got hit pretty hard but it’s coming back already.
