 Folks in the Yucatan Peninsula boarding up their homes preparing for a hard hit. I'm just trying to keep calm, but I am anxious and a bit scared. The storm has killed at least nine people. Americans are celebrating across the country today, including Washington, D.C., where people line the streets for its annual Independence Day parade. Later tonight, the National Park Service will cap off the holiday with a huge fireworks display on both sides of the Lincoln Memorial.
