It did rain a bit heavier after PDS posted. But I've gone through worse storms here and in the states. It hasn't rained for a few hours now, or at least not hard enough that I could hear it from inside the house.

We might get a couple more bands, but it looks like it is already out of here. Cancun may get some more, though.

Well, crap, SB, that's just wrong on so many levels that you can't find hurricane mix. I like this recipe:

If you can't find any passion fruit juice, nectar or syrup, a "faux-Hurricane" can be made with 46 ounces of Fruit Juicy Red Hawaiian Punch (back in the olden days, that was "one large can"), one 12-oz. can of frozen orange juice concentrate, and one 6-oz. can of frozen lime daiquiri mix. This is what we used in college, and though it didn't taste all that much like real Hurricanes, it was fruity, red, and we were too drunk to be able to tell the difference anyway.

Good luck to all of you who live on the Gulf Coast!
