Then I noticed all the Asplundh (how do you pronounce that... sounds like the noise my wife makes when she sneases!) trucks headed south.
 
AHA!!!  It must be hurricane season!!!  Sure enough, I check the news when I got home. 
 
I sure hope Rusty (everyone else for that matter) is okay.  Looks like a mean one.
 
 
Hi Tim,
 
Send some fuel tankers down here if you can :-)  That's become the biggest problem with these storms.  As of yesterday, there was no more fuel to be purchased in the area.   
 
If all goes according to forecast, we'll only have 70-90 mph winds, but it will be for most of the day tomorrow.  Pensacola NAS is already reporting gusts to 44 mph, and the storm is still way out there.  No doubt this is going to set some records.  I bet Charlie doesn't have too many takers on his invitation, considering that he'll likely get more wind than I do :-)
 
We'll be fine here, as long as it doesn't make an unexpected turn, as hurricanes have been known to do.  The most critical report will be the first one I see in the morning.  Gotta go pick up all the stuff in the yard before the rains come. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
