D.O.P.-T.

[weofodthignen]

The rain lightened and finally stopped some time after midnight. It was still heavy - but not deluge heavy - when I went for my bus; the poor housemate drove me slowly to the bus stop. Vegetation strewn over the roads, and still some deep puddles. Daylight will reveal whether the neighborhood lost any trees; they were forecasting mass deracination as the ground "liquified" and the wind reached hurricane force ... we'll see.
