In other news, I skipped the Vectric conference because we were forecast for gusts over 70 mph and I thought it would be irresponsible to leave the rest of the family here to fend for themselves.  The forecast was slightly off, the highest recorded wind gust at the nearest weather station was 17.4 mph, the highest sustained wind speed was 10.7 mph.  It kind of drizzled all night and most of the day with the occasional heavy rain lasting a few minutes, resulting in an accumulation of .58″, yes just over one half inch of rain.  This is what I skipped the Vectric conference for.
