Wonderful shot John.

I'm in the outflow from the backside of "Dolly" and our sky is very
clear tonight but was not predicted - too bad it's monday - drat.

You'll be fine on this tropical system unless it slows down (I don't see
anything to make that happen). That's the good news, the bad news is
that the season is just getting started and it's going to be active.

Keep your powder dry
