We're at Port Trinitie on the Outer Banks in Duck, North Carolina. We are here by the grace of God. Warnings on television, telephone calls from our children, warnings from our friends in Virginia were all to no avail. The tornado won't hit Duck. And if it does, we won't be there The tornado did hit Duck, but unlike many other parts of North Carolina and Virginia, it hit several buildings, no people, and the buildings were at least three miles from our rental in Port Trinitie. Marash Girl was reminded of the expression her classmates used to use during baseball practice in sixth grade, an expression which became metaphor throughout junior high for all kinds of occurrences. Marash Girl herewith takes the liberty of quoting her Claflin School sixth grade classmates Ray Vanderweil, Barry O'Keefe, Jimmy Loew, David Seeley, George Maxcey, Anthony Soule, Kenneth Zalcman: A miss is as good as a mile (in this case, 24 hours and three miles!) Thank the Lord!
