And so it begins...

Here we go, folks. The wind is starting to pick up here at Mattsapundit Central Command, and we're getting our first drops of rain. Here are current conditions from the good folks at Weatherbug:

Temperature: 79.4°F Pressure: 29.54" pressure rising Average Wind: 13mph N

Other than that, not much to report. I've got my survival kit ready to go, consisting of one constitutionally protected anti-looting system, two bathtubs full of water, one bottle of Scotch and a whole mess of Campbell's soup. Fox News on the TV, Sleater-Kinney on iTunes, and I'm pretty content.
