Sub-Tropical Storm Andrea- Maintain level I - Normal Operations.

This was in my email box this morning at work w/ a 30 page attachment. We have a very detailed hurricane contigency plan at work since Rita and Katrina !! We are VERY VERY prepared (that is a good feeling btw)

I have a feeling it is going to be a long long long summer !!!

I get that feelin about this time every summer. Glad to know you are prepared though. I'm as prepared as I'm gonna be.

It is supposed to be a very active season (but they say that every year) - CYA I guess !!!

Last year, I think the (nice) surprise was an unexpected El Nino that kept hurricane activity lower than expectations.....

Not basing it on anything scientific, but this could be the year for the hurricance pattern cycle to hit the whole Eastern/Northeastern Atlantic seaboard. We had an odd winter/spring weather cycle, which has me thinking ...

My family has complained for years that New Orleans always gets all the attention from storms. After Katrina they barely metioned anything on the news about the devistation of Gulf Shore or Mobile. The title surge was higher than Camile. They are still cleaning up after Ivan the storm a year before Katrina. Glad you are prepared Tappy. I know we always had hurricane supplies in the house. I remember going through Camile and Fredrick. Scary.

I've heard them actually call the storm Andrea Mitchell.

I wish I could say I was better prepared. It is my work that is so prepared.

I figure if one heads this way I will just throw the kiddo and the cats in the car and start driving (what a nightmare that would be) !!!


I remember Camille to.....

Ummm... Taps..... you might want to add your husband to that "throw in the car" list!!

And BTW.... I heard a local meteorologist say that just because Andrea has happened earlier than normal, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be an active hurricane season.

But what the hell do they know??!!

He wont leave..he refused to go when Lilly hit us a few years ago and tore off part of our roof/chimmney. He is worse than the weathermen on TV...he likes to go outside and walk around to see how strong the wind is blowing.
