Hurricane season '08

I fully expect the Houston/Galveston area to get hit sometime this season. We're sooooo overdue, and the early hot weather and number of storms already does not bode well.

Dolly just gave us some much-needed rain (not enough, though)

Ohhh yes, Galveston is LONG overdue! When I was there for nursing school, we had a couple of hurricanes headed our way, but they always turned just at the last minute. I was so glad to get out of there, I held my breath for three years!

I think Galveston has the right to never want to have another Hurricane again....They still hold the top spot in the Worst US Natural Disasters!

I am very surprised we have had no bad storms in Florida since Wilma and Katrina!

I just got back from the store where I stocked up on water, batteries, and filled all the gas tanks for the generator. We also cleaned the gutters and took down some old awnings today.

Oh, how I love this nearly annual ritual!

So we are ready for you Fay, if you should come our way!

I just hope it doesn't interrupt the first day of school! (Its my first full year teaching!)

How are my other Florida hurricane buddies doing?
