Got a voicemail this morning on my cell from the insurance company I have home insurance from saying basically “We know you are about to get hit by Ernesto, so here are all the ways to get in touch with us to make a claim as soon as it goes by.”

Thanks!

(Actually of course, if there is an issue, this will be helpful, as I frankly wouldn’t even remember which insurance company we had without digging through papers trying to find it.)

Anyway, as of the updates at 13 UTC this morning (6 hours ago) we are back to a negligible (less than 5%) chance of hurricane force winds, but the chance of tropical storm force winds has gone up slightly to about 65%.

Hopefully we’ll get some rain and wind but no actual damage. Guess we’ll know in about 24 to 30 hours. Well, at least whatever is going to happen will have happened. We aren’t actually there, so who knows how long it will be until we can get someone to go by and tell us what happened.
