 ML> there's a hurricane pointing our way

It's not news, it's entertainment.

 JW> This weekend- Hurricane! For the handful still alive:  Aaaahhh!

The winds for New York yesterday and today are instructive.
These numbers from JFK (midtown were 1/3 to 1/2 less) -
27th, hourly:
0 0 0 0 3 5 6 8 7 7 8 8 10 14 13g21 14 17g22 13 14
12g22 18 20g26 23g38 26g37

28th, hourly:
32g47 32g56 35g52 40g57 31g41 32g43 32g45 35g46 6 (the
eye, one presumes) 36g54 33g47 30g40 29g40 26g40

What's interesting is that these are not indication of a
miraculous sparing but rather are completely in line with
what NOAA has been forecasting all along.

A very breezy day, and with the high tides being quite high,
maybe an excitement. Washington's numbers were similar,
perhaps worse. Annoying, but hardly the storm of the century.
xxcarol had worse, looks like, but nothing huge either - 30-40
sustained for about 12 hours - probably caused a bit of damage,
and no doubt her power is out. Clean Dave is being similarly
hit as I type.

My flight was cancelled, as it would have had to try to land
in 32 mph gusts, so I'm now waiting it out in Cleveland.

Yep. And in the absence of rutabaga, cabbage core works
pretty well for the purpose, with the same caveat.

Steamed fish
cat: Chinese
yield: 1

1 fish, cleaned
1 clove garlic, slivered
1 scallion or more, slivered
1 in ginger or more, slivered
coriander leaves (opt)
soy sauce
sherry (opt)
1 ts sesame oil (opt)

Lay the fish on a parchment or piece of foil. Strew with
seasonings and drizzle with liquids. Put in steamer and
steam 5 minutes or until fish flakes.

Only we grilled it, as I recall.
