I know I don't live in Bermuda, but since I may be affected I'll tell you what's going on here in good ol' New England. The weathermen are treating it like a joke, as they keep saying,"Oh yes, this things gonna affect us!(sarcastically)No, there is no chance this makes a NE landfall...maybe Canada." Last time I checked was 5:03pmEDT. So far nobody is concerned yet, but if this comes here, I'll keep you updated.

Here is a Web Cam that will be interesting to look only at daylight.

I'll see if I can get some pictures or video. All the beaches along our south shore have already been closed due to high surf but other than and a nice gentle breeze its weather as normal here in Bermuda!

For those who track him, Mark Sudduth is going to Bermuda to set up one of his wind towers, and camera system. It will be his first ever international intercept.

Edit to that:
He might not go if it looks like Leslie will go east of Bermuda. He said, on his latest blog, his flight out is early tomorrow (this) morning, so after looking over the 5 am forecast and such, he'll make the final decision.

The Royal Gazette on FB posted this graphic, stating that Leslie is now forecast to move away from Bermuda. Good news for Bermuda...

Good afternoon
At the moment we are having a rain band and I can hear the rain pouring into my tank which desperately needed it. One side was empty. I have a few avocado pear leaves in the yard right now .. the pears are still on the tree for now. The garden snails are having a field day sliding around in the rain. So far so good. Some reports say the closest point of approach has passed others says its around 3:30 this afternoon. Considering what we were looking at three days ago for potential bad weather we are blessed! We'll stay inside and hopefully tomorrow the sun will be visible again. Schools are closed tomorrow but teacher will go back in to make sure no damage was done to classrooms. So the kids got two extra days off. School will start in full force Tuesday. Will post again later tonight.
