8/7 We were hoping to go to the Baylander tonight, on our final night in town. Heavy thunderstorms prevented that. We had watched the weather models in their uncertainty for hours, but at about 6pm, the sky darkened within minutes and the downpour turned the window screens into opaque walls. Went to the Japanese BBQ instead.
