Notes from a hurricane

Tropical Storm Hanna is currently centered in Southeastern Virginia. we've been rained on since last night, and the rain should pick up for about 2 hours, then calm down before midnight. Here's a few shots:

What we've learned so far? First, our house does leak, specifically around the doors. We;re probably just going to need to get both doors replaced. The front door may be salvageable if we get a storm door. The back door? We need a new frame, I think. I can't tell exactly where the water's getting in, but I think it's leaking in through the damaged/rotting trim, and going from there. Go figure, huh?

Still, so far, this isn't nearly as bad as the storms while I was in Puerto Rico, but we still have about 6 to 8 hours or rain left before things calm down. the worst is yet to come.

Hope it's all clear now and that your house is high and dry.
