Hanna

[Susie Hamilton]

We are starting to get rain and wind from her. By early morning we are supposed to be getting 30-40 mph wind with gusts up to 60 mph. The worst for us will hit between midnight and tomorrow afternoon. We were told at work this morning by the manager, if she gets the call in the morning, she will be calling all of us to tell us not to report to work. If she doesn't call, we will be going out in this stuff. The last hurricane, we went out to the street and were called back to the station 1 hour later. I am not looking to working in this storm with all the debris that will be blowing around.

It started rainging about 5 pm today. Hanna has arrived.

Not going to be a big deal here in Greensboro. We need the rain.
A nice slow rain.

We have not caught up from last years draught.

Gustav has brought rain to Nashville all day today.

We got some rain and gusty winds from Hanna starting during the very early morning hours and lasting through the afternoon. It has cleared up nicely and the weekend is supposed to be beautiful. The big problem for us from her is and continues to be beach erosion. The 11 PM news is saying that Ike looks like he may go into the Florida Keys or even Cuba, earlier today they thought he might hit Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area or even come closer to Central Florida. He still has a long way to go and the track could change again, another weekend of watching and waiting.

Rahab, be careful if they make you all work tomorrow and you will be in my prayers.

I am in Northern Virginia. I am suppose to work tomorrow at a store. I am not sure if I will work all day, I am suppose to work 9 hours tomorrow. Even if I do work, I think it will be very, very slow. Most people maybe staying at home tomorrow.

Don't be too sure Mole, people will do some of the stupidest stuff during these storms, including going out in the storm to the store. i can remember in the early 60s when Hurricane Donna hit Miami, I was working at the county hospital. Several hours into the storm we got a call that an ambulance was bring in a patient that needed emergency surgery. It seems that this guy got drunk and decided to mow his lawn during the storm. The lawn mower mowed more of him than lawn. As I said, some people will do really stupid stuff.

Rahab, be careful.

I don't like Ike.

I don't like Ike.

I'm with you, so far it looks like he will go south of us but come back up in the Gulf, I pray he doesn't come up the west coast of Florida.

Hanna is gone. YIPPEE.

Son is shining.
My Gold Fish pond is full to the brim.
It is getting hot.

I had thought it would be raining all day.

[Susie Hamilton]

I just got home from work. Had to do some OT. We didn't get as much rain as I expected, just a lot of heavy wind gusts and sprinkles mixed in with it. I thot about trying a new experiment to day. I figured if I stood at the first house on the street and threw the mail up in the air, the wind would blow it into the correct mailboxes on the whole street.

YOu should submit him to the Darwin Awards. It's wouldn't get an awardl since he didn't die, but they'd use it, I bet.
