Ken: Henri has been downgraded to a tropical storm!

Brandon: Phew!

Ken: We're still gonna get a lot of rain!

Brandon: Oh.

Ken: The strongest winds will now be over Rhode Island and Massachusetts! That's where Tropical Storm Henri will make landfall. In Rhode Island.

Emma: Are we still gonna lose power?

Ken: We still can, but not the extent that was likely before! We're no longer gonna be on the worst side of the storm!

Emma: I feel somewhat relieved to hear that. That's a weight off my shoulders.

Me: All of my devices are charged! Even my Nintendo Switch!

Ken: Great!

Matilda: I did the same as well!

Steven: My phone is at 9 percent.

Nathan: My phone is at 3 percent.

SkittishReflections: What are you idiots waiting for? Charge your phones! Now!

Steven: We can't! All the outlets are used right now!

Nathan: Yeah!

SkittishReflections: Well, then you're gonna have to wait, okay? If the power happens to go out, and your phones are still at a low percentage, you will have to wait till the power is restored! You guys fool around too much!

Frank: Exactly!

Ken: We can expect the worst of Henri, late this morning, thru this evening. Rain is gonna get heavy! No one is to be outside, during that time! Got it?

All Of Us: Yes!

Ken: Good.

Kyle: Supposed to have a heat wave this week.

Ken: Yes, hopefully we won't lose power. We don't want to have no air conditioning, during that time. By the end of the week, humidity will go down! Remember, guys! Back to school shopping, this Saturday!

Andrea: That's right!

Steven: What if the power is still out on Saturday? *smugly*

All Of Us: *glares at Steven*

Steven: *bursts out laughing*

Trevor: *beats up Steven*

Steven: *getting beat up*

SkittishReflections: *shakes her head* Thinks he's so slick. The power might not even go out at all.

Margaret: True.

Iris: Mm hmm.

Alexis: Yeah.
