Hanna

[Secret Steve Crumbles]

How the hell does this happen? Look at these poor bastards who thought the Hurricane was going to pass them. It seems like it took a specific detour to fuck them over.

We are right under the inland path. Currently gusts up to 50mph, rain falling at 3" per hour. Flash flood advisories until 8:00am.

Got in some extra food that didn't need cooking, spare batteries for torch, filled up the car with gas, we have 20gal of bottled water in garage, and grabbed cash from the ATM. Not expecting anything ... but better to be safe.

So, it looks like the storm stayed on the coastline and thus didn't do much damage here. Just a cool, wet night.

i got a call from my doctor's office to check if they are open monday before i go for my appointment

a category 1 storm is not a big deal here as we don't have floods and a category one storm will just be a lot of wind and rain besides it will make landfall further up the coast

ike may be another matter

when i was little on okinawa we had typhoons hit almost every year usually more then one

they were big deal storms

everyone had premade shutters a couple of inches thick that slid into place

there was no running to home depot for plywood

the lights did go out

we did use the water in the tub for cooking over a strerno or whatever little 'stove'

water did come in the house no one had wall to wall carpeting

how so many storms managed to hit an island 70 miles long and 2 to 10 miles wide is still a mystery to me

... but better to be safe.yea, I used that argument here once and was told I'm paranoid. :(

So, it looks like the storm stayed on the coastline and thus didn't do much damage here. Just a cool, wet night.Glad it passed you, but don't be fooled like those first people were! It may come back at you!

Hanna was traveling to South Carolina with her kids to visit South of the Border. All the way across the South Atlantic they kept seeing signs for "Lookout Volcano" where you can see Haiti the Dominican Republic and Cuba from the same vantage point. Mom kep saying no, bu they kept nagging. When they got to the turn off, she relented. They got to the entrance, saw what a rat hole it was, bought some fireworks at a seaside stand and got back on the throughway.
