There was a pretty big solar flare this morning. Considered a decade-class, 14th strongest since 1976. Unlikely to cause much disruption, just some good auroras this week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mmm, auroras. Bummer on the banged up knee. I find that particular bruise or whatever it is particularly annoying.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That hurt just reading about it, sarameg.

The status is NOT quo.
My dad and cousin both live in Broward county, right in the heart of where the storm will hit, by current projections. His house is far enough inland and above the flood zone, so my cousin is going to go to his house after work Friday, and they are going to close all the hurricane shutters, set up the generator, and hunker down to wait it out. But I am so damned worried about them.
Also, much -ma for your dad, Kate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
~ma to your dad, Kate.
Is anyone else almost expecting the next thing to be a massive earthquake or something? Plague of locusts?
I haven't decided if our theatre is being timely or tempting fate by doing a show in which it rains blood for the final two minutes.

Knee seems to be improved on stairs and no crunching, so just bruising and not a torn meniscus, which I feared. It was numb for a good hour after the hit. Started waking up during the swim. Banged a nerve or three, I guess.

That sounds hellishly painful, sarameg.
Much ~ma to those in Irma's path.

Our wings are not tired.
~ma for your family and all those in the path of Irma, Pix. It is frustrating because really the path has a wide cone for a reason. Prep, prep, prep, wait, wait, wait. Ugh. By the time we know where it is going the roads will be closed.
