We sat out Rita in Ponchatoula. There were tornado warnings throughout most of the day. We made kites and got to test fly the StormWatch(tm) brand styrofoam airplane we had. Geoffrey drank some bourbon.
We have gained a meteorologist. Her name is Jen and she lives in Rhode Island. As the bands of Hurricane Rita were going over, she was able to predict weather changes within less than 30 seconds accuracy. The wind would blow the torrential downpour until it fell parallel to the ground. Then all of a sudden it would stop. In the end Geoffrey's hat was ruined, but we were able to keep the network up through most of the storm.
