hippie_chickWell it looks like we're gearing up for a hit from Tropical Storm Ernesto. This storm has dramatically changed course! He'll strengthen a bit to just at Cat1 strength for us. At least New Orleans and the rest of the Katrina affected area can breathe easy here. I was hoping they wouldn't get hit with anything.
At least I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday for this week. My forecast calls for tropical storm conditions tomorrow, with winds up to a max 20mph. Wednesday, we get the cat 1 conditions with winds reaching a max 85mph with gusts up to 100mph.
Oh wunderbar.
There isn't much of a fuss though, the store hasn't been crawling with people getting supplies, really. Maybe today? Dunno. The season is still young, my friends! Wheee!
ETA
Gusts are now predicted to be 70-75mph... so yeah, we won't get more than a strong tropical storm out of Ernesto. Took the necessary preps anyway, and this place even has storm shutters. They're up now and it's DARK in here! LOL!! But better safe than sorry right?
