We may get a tropical system in our area during the later half of this coming weekend roughly following the path that Isabel took in September of 2003. During Isabel we had wind gusts here at the house between 50-60 mph and lost pieces of flashing. Others in the neighborhood lost roofing and more. Let’s hope that somehow Joaquin finds its way out to sea. On another non-lep related note the recent supermoon coincided with a total Lunar Eclipse on the evening of the 27th. There were a few holes of clear skies around 10pm allowing for some photos.
