Well, I'm a bit far north for any effects from Hurricane Ian- my heart goes out to the people- but I'll check in anyway.

The weather here in southeast Alaska has been mostly normal. During the summer we had several scattered periods that got very warm (by our standards) but we've had a lot of rain too, including some record breaking days. In fact, last week we had some mudslides, one of which slid between a number of houses, only one of which suffered any serious damage. No injuries, thank all that's good.

We are now in full Autumn mode with our temps ranging from mid40sF to mid50s. Deciduous trees are at their peak of color and shedding their raiment more every day. Lots of leaves to tramp through or kick around, and I love that. There is fresh snow on the mountains by our closest glacier but our downtown mountains are still clear.
