Good morning, Clive.

Thanks for the post. Living here in SoFlo I will most certainly be watching this. We have preset planned schedules on when we pick up last minute "survival" stores such as gas (which we don't keep over 3 months.) We'll do gradual fills of our stores over the next week if this continues to develop.

Yep, this is about the time the real fun gets started, let's pray we're all wasting our time! ; )

Ping and good morning to our SoFlo pals...

I guess that Dr. Cullen with the weather channel will give us another lecture on global warming, sheesh.

it's all about the wind and the water temperature from now till December

the good news is that the poinsettia (sp?) trees which are supposedly harbinger of the seasons intensity are not very fiery here in Key West

and these days I have as much (if not more)faith in folklore as I do in the politically agenda-ed NOAA and the weather service

We live in Houston, no danger from the storm surge and I have no problem with staying here during a hurricane, even a direct hit on Galveston/Houston. It is the aftermath that I can’t stand, specifically the week or so without electricity and A/C. It has been over 20 years since that happened here and the heat and humidity almost killed me. We couldn’t even buy and ice cube. I am too old for that again, we’ll ride the storm out and take a trip to someplace with A/C. (I know I’m a weenie, you don’t need to remind me)

Great. School starts this week. I’m just a little too busy to have a hurricane!
