Is that ten minutes for the train journey and twenty minutes for the delays?

No! No! Nix on London. I aleady have my air and hotel reservations made for Houston... non-refundable

And Neal: Remember that if you dive deep enough, you can ride out any storm no matter how severe.

Looks like we're gonna get this sucker head on. They're forecasting 75-100 mile an hour sustained winds here tomorrow night. I'm well prepared with plenty of canned soup, bottled water, booze and cigarettes. I'm actually playing a fun game while watching the continuous local news coverage here...every time someone says the phrase "hunker down" or a variant of such, I'm taking a swig of my drink.

I suspect I will be falling down drunk withink 30 minutes or so.

Captain, the hatches have been dogged down and we're rigged for hurricane weather!

Worst case scenario, this will be a Cavalla grounds clean up party. Hopefully the damage will be minimal to the Seawolf Park. I guess we'll find out. i'll bring my leather gloves and help clean up the place.

Neal, along with all others in the path, I pray for your safety. I'm tired of hurricanes myself.
