We were lucky this time. We got some rain and very little wind. There was no damage, no flooding, and we never lost electricity. Only one small tree with very shallow roots fell down.

The power adapter for my MacBook Pro appears to have died. Last night I noticed that the light on the plug would go out if I moved the cable. Today I can’t get the light to come on at all and the battery is discharging.
