All of our hurricane preparation was in vain. The hurricane turned south and will miss us. Although we will eventually get some of the rain, I suppose. We did have some excitement today at the Maryland State Archives. We had a fire alarm go off and everyone had to go outside and stand around for a while. It was not a drill and a lot of policemen and firemen showed up to check out the building. There is some construction going on and I speculated that the vibrations from the construction may have set off the alarms.

Otherwise, we had another day digitizing records. All of the records we digitize are reviewed both by use before we send them off to FamilySearch and after they are received by FamilySearch. Occasionally, we get a notice to "Rework" some images that do not come up to the standards set by FamilySearch. Since we are digitizing thousands of records a week, I suppose that it is inevitable that a few might have some problems. But we have had very few reworks.

When we left the Archives today, it was warm and sunny but rain is expected the next two days.
