And the world's slowest moving hurricane EVER still hasn't even come close to hitting Gainesville. Supposedly it'll start tomorrow morning, but as of about 2 AM I still haven't seen a drop of rain or anything midly windy.
So instead we went out tonight and took some pictures around Gainesville of the boarded up shops (some of which have been closed since Thursday night).
The first thing that would have been blown away, boards or no boards

I see a cloud!
I also made Hurricane* cookies.

However my parents in Tampa did get a shock after coming home to get some food. It had poured while they were out, and came home to find this:

Before and After
And then a few of my friend's parents from the coast are reporting that their power is out, so it's slowly but surely making its way inland. Now it looks like the main threat is flooding. It's also supposed to go right over my house in Tampa, instead of hitting Gainesville like the original projection had it doing.
Mozilla updated their website look, for the first time in the several years I've been using Mozilla (since about the M11 build I think). It's come a long long way since those early days, and is starting to gain ground on IE. If you haven't tried out their awesome browser (which has gotten better reviews than IE for quite a while now) then I highly suggest giving it a try. Built in pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, and middle click opens up another window on a link (I LOVED that from Linux, and glad to see it made it into the mainstream). Not to mention a whole lot less security holes, and the one's that are found are fixed in a few hours instead of a few months like IE.
