    Knowing that you usually ride out these storms, take extra care this time, it looks like a whopper!

    Default I've been cleaning up for 3 days now....

    ...ever since our friend Katrina wacked us Thursday night. A lot of people here are still without their power, and some streets are still flooded, and all this from a little Catagory 1 Storm that many people paid no attention to. Nine people are dead, 5 from having trees fall on them while they were out during the storm, and two drowned because they thought they could ride this "little storm" out in their houseboat. Two others died from carbon-monoxide poisoning because they had a generator inside their house after the storm. ALL of these deaths are from stupidity. Be safe.

    HERE'S THE RADAR image of the storm on it's way towards you, so keep a good eye on it and prepare for the worst. We'll all hope for the best.

    HERE'S ANOTHER RADAR VIEW

    Heh..I spent all Saturday mowing, putting stuff into the basement, getting rid of some iffy tree limbs...then they change the projected course. It would be cool to see the river 17" above flood stage though.

    at over 100 miles inland and not in a flood zone about the only thing to worry about is tornados knocking trees on the house, i was out on a bicycle in andrew when the eye passed, upwind sucked but the run back to the house was fun at 40-50 mph without pedaling
