We're expecting landfall in just a few hours. Apparently the winds are expected to reach 150 (!) mph, and the conditions are expected to create 35 foot waves. I think it's pretty awesome that there's a website devoted to tracking extreme weather events' impact on surf conditions.

I went outside earlier to take some video. I'll post some of the highlights when the storm, which could reach Category 4 levels, hits in earnest. Well, assuming power holds out, I will.

Update: here's a sweet satellite photo.
