Howdy all!

This is Hurricane Bonnie Report #5 from the Visitor Center Overlook at
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), open 10am-4pm daily.  Each of
my observations from the Overlook are for 10-minute intervals.

Still warm and sticky.  Cloudy, but haze is gone.  Low bands of stratus
clouds now bringing occasional rain.  Sustained winds at 25+ mph from the
East.  Chesapeake Bay waters choppy and rough.

   It was harder to pull myself away on this watch.  The vultures were
impressive.  It just *feels* like something is out there...
