It looks like it'll hit sometime late this week or this weekend. It'll rain 
a bunch, blow a little, and generally annoy me, but the site is far enough 
inland that the hurricane will have blown off a lot of energy before it gets 
there, and then will have moved through before Defender. The real threat is 
it stalling and sitting on us like that tropical storm a few years ago that 
resulted in me and Gesalec floating down the drainage ditches in a raft 
(yes, there was beer involved).

Personally, I'm not worried about it affecting Defender, but it may cause 
issues for me at work since I don't drive the truck and won't ride the bike 
in a hurricane (again).
