To my followers, I am sorry for this long hiatus caused by lots of work. As Tomas is moving towards Haiti for a potentially catastrophic impact even if it is a low intensity hurricane, I am planning to get back to this blog with some new topics. In the meantime, I leave you with a photo that I took while I was just east of Hermine's center of circulation. Even tropical storms with relatively low wind-speeds can create significant outages in the power grid. Percentage of damage infrastructure from Hermine was very low (at most 1%).
