Storm warning?

Recent news has downgraded Tomas from a tropical storm to a tropical depression, which I suppose makes it less threatening.  But they also say, it may strengthen again with the possibility of hurricane winds.  We should be feeling the effects of Tomas by Thursday (tomorrow!).  This'll be my first tropical storm / hurricane type weather action so.. wish me luck! 

What sucks is that we made plans to travel the island this weekend, but that might not be such a good idea anymore.  I am adventerous, but I don't seek to drive into harm's way (not this time at least).  Time to get myself some canned tuna and candles!
