Looks a really menacing sky. Love the light on the buildings. Pretty wild all over the country today I think.

@tonydebont thanks Tony -- it looks like I should put my night glasses on between the 24th and 25th Oct, shrug on my winter polar fleece, stride out on to the Cape and signal the ship with my penlight!
