Hurricane Henri was downgraded to a tropical storm before making landfall near Westerly, RI, just after noon. Here, we had some heavy rain this morning, now reduced to a drizzle. Our driveway is strewn with leaves and twigs, and the power occasionally flickers, but that’s the extent of the damage so far. We are neither in the path of the highest winds nor the hardest rains, so with any luck we’ll get through the remainder of the storm without much ado. That sure would be nice. Fingers crossed.

Most people never look up. They go about their busy little lives wrapped up in their busy little concerns here on the ground like ants in an anthill. Amateur astronomers—and nature people in general—are people who sometimes stop to look up, and to take the time to find out about what they see.
