Hurricane Harry

I've finished the new Harry Potter book, and I need to talk to someone about it! If you're finished, call/email me.

On non-Harry fronts, we just got our new roof! After Ivan and Dennis, we needed it so badly. We've got water damage in every room of the house except our kitchen. What a mess. If we get another hurricane this season, I'm just going to cry. No more hurricanes! Please! I'm tired of the boarding up and waiting for gas and storing water, and then no power and no phones and grueling clean-up for weeks at a time. This time the eye of Dennis went right through Pace. I've been in the eyewall several times, but this was the first time I've made it in the eye. It was crazy! The whole neighborhood was outside during it. Dad had to go up on the roof really fast to tarp over where out chimney was torn off. That part was a little stressful. Thank God this storm was really booking it, so the dangerous part only lasted about 30 minutes (as opposed to Ivan, which was dangerous for hours upon hours.) Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, we won't be getting any more storms for years. I think we've earned a break. I also want to offer poor Jamaica and the Cayman Islands a break. From now on, I decree all hurricanes should head to Texas.

Glad you made it through ok, Mags. Yay for the new roof! Anyway, I am totally up for any HP discussions you want to have. I'm bursting to talk about it!
