We had a major downpour from the outer ring of the storm until one of my inventions was turned on for 10 minutes. Then not only did the downpour stop, but the clouds in the sky became still as far as I could see from Bladwin and Hwy 77. Down off Beach Drive there were some distant pretty white clouds that were quite small and still.

I'm headed west towards Destin to see if there are any clouds that need to be caressed by the energy from my device. Wish me and the good people of New Orleans well.

Maybe we can shrink this storm a bit and even keep it from graduating to hurricane strength.

Prayers and youer light will be felt by us all.
