One week I can remember like no other is the week after Hurricane Ivan roared through central Alabama. By the time the storm had waded through two hundred miles of pine forests to reach central Alabama, it had lost its Hurricane status -- but even so, it felled trees and disrupted power for just over a week. That said, Hurricane Irma, with winds even stronger than Ivan's or Katrina's, is now approaching the Deep South. My county is presently just outside the direct line of fire, but this storm is so large and keeps wandering westerly that I fully expect some disruption. It's entirely possible that I will go offline for a few days, or even a week. I hope that this won't be a storm I'll remember vividly thirteen years from now (Ivan struck September 16, 2004), but who can say? Time to batten the hatches!
this would be a nice time of year to revisit the southwest... just a suggestion... at any rate, i really hope the Stephen manse sustains no damage... good luck...
ReplyDeleteThat it would...I'm figuring on a spring trip if I'm not blown away on Monday, though.
DeleteThe best of luck with that one and here's hoping that the storms passes you by! Hope that your hatches are FULLY battened....
ReplyDeleteThanks! There's two more out there just now, but so far Jose and Katia don't seem to have the US on their mind.
DeleteStay safe and take care, hope it's not too awful... Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
