Wow... did we ever dodge a bullet with Hurricane Gustav. We weren't completely untouched as this morning there have been a couple of tornado warnings here and the wind is whipping around pretty good and there has been pretty steady rainfall. But thank goodness it did not make landfall in our area. However, the tropics are becoming very active right now, as is typical for September and October in the Atlantic Basin and Gulf of Mexico. From the photo you can see Hurricane Gustav, Tropical Storm Hannah, and four other areas that have some potential for tropical development. UGHHHHHH! It is so frustrating, watching a waiting because you never really know where they will head. And of course I go on stand-by for work which means I need to be ready to be called in at a moment's notice. So, I hate to wish time away but I'm looking forward to November when the tropics settle down!!!
