If we had hatches, they'd be battened down

The wind is starting up, but no rain yet.  Looks like DC, where my daughter and brother are, will get the most rain.  They are on high ground, as we are, so although we are expecting quite a bit of rain we should be OK.  Lots of little bridges on the local roads may not.  I'm making soup, catching up on work and making necklaces for a craft fair.
