Yes, there are clear windows sometimes but not always around hurricanes. This is an interesting piece about a powered session clear sky session on the east coast before Charley slammed into SW Florida.

It looks like we might be out of wind for a while, again. Then again, the cold fronts are moving through so hopefully useable wind should be on again soon. Hang in there.
