Hanna part 2

Well, I have to say, I preferred Gustav.

Hanna has been passing through the past few days. What started as lovely cloudy & cool weather (I never thought I would say this, but eternal summer can get a little boring after a while) turned into wind & rain. Port looks rather beat-up with trees down, power lines down, tin roofs scattered across the roads, and increasingly large and numerous potholes. (Yes, mom & dad, it is possible for those holes to get bigger.)

Fortunately, I have been safe & sound. I haven't had much electricity, but that's more annoying than dangerous.

I've stopped listening to the news. You all remember after Katrina, when the news was filled with victims crying out against the government's lack of help? Well, it's even harder to listen to when you know there won't ever be any FEMA trailers shipped in.

On a bit of a selfish note, I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to fly to DC on the 9th as planned.
