Story draft available here.
I'll post the draft after I get a chance to proofread it in the morning.
In January of 2008 we had a confirmed tornado touch down just a few miles from the library. Such storms are rare at that time of year. Today we had another, following a very similar pattern, and they are almost as rare in November as in February. Aside from herding all the library users into the meeting room for a half hour (concrete walls, no windows) the main impact we felt was the loss of our catalog and circulation system. Though our power only flickered a couple of times, the main server is over in Loves Park and there was more damage there. They lost power completely. I don't know if it has come back yet.
Got the Cormorant moving down the Seine and into the English Channel, with some nautical jargon and an apprehensive horse. Also some hints of what's to come when Ricky meets with Baldwin, the Archbishop who must crown him. He'd best not give the least hint that he believes his father was in the wrong in the matter of Thomas Becket, that's for sure.
Managed to finagle Wednesday off work, yay! I'll have to be cooking a good part of the day, but it spares me doing it into the wee hours of the morning as I've often done on Thanksgiving eve in the past.
