Personally, I'd rather she go to a nunnery.
Have I used that line before? It's from Hamlet.
Son2 and I left the beach this morning while the wind was whipping but the rain wasn't yet falling. We did take a walk down to the ocean to watch the waves. I took some videos that you can watch as a Reel on the River Sailor Instagram. The breakers along the pier were impressive.
Back here at home, we are experiencing some wind and rain. It is supposed to get worse into the evening and night. My fingers are crossed that we don't lose power.
Ophelia did cause us to postpone the camping trip K and I had planned. I called the owner of the campground. He had no problem rescheduling our stay. The location of the campground is right in Ophelia's path. Towing the rig there in this wind and rain would have been foolhardy.
If you are in Ophelia's path, I hope she does you no harm.
How was your weather this Thursday?

It stormed in my part of Missouri during the night and twice during the daytime. We have a 50% chance of storms and showers again this evening/tonight. Our high was supposed to be 77F but we've made it 73F once and then the temp dropped back down to 70F again.... I don't believe we'll reach the predicted high today.
This is just "normal" weather for us in September.
I hope Ophelia avoids everyone we know... Good luck!

@DWDavis I hope you're doing okay and nothing bad happens there. We had a some severe storms last night and it rained most of the day... The forecast says more storms tonight and through Sunday.
Thanks... I don't mind rain but am not fond of the severe storms. We lost power twice last night for about half an hour each time. I have no idea what happened. We rarely lose power.

@DWDavis That is true since some storms are going to be in the area starting tomorrow and next week.

Stay safe. We may get the outer bands of Ophelia. We could really use the rain. Have a good weekend. Our weather has been sunny and around 80. It will go back into the 70s this weekend.

@DWDavis Nope. Didn't quite make it here. Hopefully we will get rain in a couple of days.
