I'm happy to report there was no aftermath.  The sun was shining when I woke up this morning at about 9:30, but it got cloudy as the day progressed.  I had some minor drizzle as I was delivering Meals on Wheels this morning, but I never got wet.  I just heard on the TV that we had wind gusts of 47 or 48 miles per hour, but I was never aware of that.  Ida was pretty much a non-event for us.

Every time I pass a Catholic church, I say prayers.  At this time of year, I say, "From the terrors of the hurricanes, O Lord, deliver us.  Our Lady of Propt Succor, hasten to help us."  I think this time my prayers were heard.
