And so it begins

Well, Hanna is almost off our coast and Ike is on her heels, so hurricane season in South Carolina has officially begun. Granted it's a little late in the season to have just begun, but that's fine, the fewer hurricane warnings the better! Hanna isn't supposed to be nearly as bad as they were originally thinking (for the Charleston area), since it's spinning off a little north of us. Rain is not supposed to start until a bit later today, although the winds have already started, as was very evident on my walk to the office from the car. Oh yeah, we still have to work today, the only reason we can not come to work is if there is a mandatory evacuation. Personally I think there is a range of weather between 'ok to come to work' and 'mandatory evacuation' that could be considered, especially when your office sits on a point right on the harbor, but whatever, the state feels there is no difference.

Here is Hanna coming up the coast of Florida, ready to head our way

And here is Ike, he seems a little more ominous

So, we shall see what today brings! Happy hurricane day everyone!
