As near as I can figure, a 'hatch' is the birth of a whole bunch of bugs, like Mayflies. When you 'batten them down' you are using a Louisville Slugger baseball bat to eliminate them. I still never figured out why they are born just before storms. Hope this help clear things up.

Are you kidding? We still have paper walls! In fact, I have to get over to the DIY shop and pick up some repair stuff; paper and glue. I stumbled the other day and put my fingers through the shoji in the living room. As for glass windows, I really haven't paid much attention to what is available, other than for earthquake damage prevention; stuff to keep furniture from moving around, etc.

This storm has just been downgraded to a Tropical Storm. It should be even milder by the time it reaches us. Probably nothing more than a heavy rain storm. We got lucky this time.
