Tropical Storm Watch

Hanna and I have the same birthday. The tropical storm / hurricane was born the same day as I was—31 August. Only, I beat her by 52 years. And, I was not born in the Atlantic Ocean. Still, I guess our paths will cross this weekend. They are calling for wind and rain with likely flooding, thunderstorms, the loss of electricity, etc.

We prepared for Ernesto a couple of years ago—water in jugs in the basement, flashlights with new batteries, butane fuel for the camp stove. All that is still sitting there, so I guess we are ready for Hanna. We’ll keep you informed.
