The New Hotness

Just before Tropical Storm Isaias rolled through, my hygrometer reached a new high:

The National Weather Service reported 99% at the airport a few miles away, so the meter’s calibration seems about right.

Shortly thereafter, the humidity dropped to the mid-70s as the wind picked up and, over the next few hours, falling branches took out vast swaths of Central Hudson’s electrical infrastructure. My little generator saved our refrigerator & freezer during 15 hours of outage; three days later, thousands of folks around us still have no power.

A confluence of other events, none nearly so dramatic, will throttle my posting over the next two weeks.

We’re OK and hope you’re OK, too …
