Last year, Florida was not so lucky. This year it seems that the storms are just brushing us. In this image the lines all split to form a storm-free zone over the state of Florida.
Crown Weather is the best place to get hurricane updates.
Now for the frivolous: Our sales agent called with the first of his weekly updates. They are supposed to pin our site and begin leveling it with dirt starting next Monday, September 26. Yeah! Ten days or so after that, they should pour the foundation.
Monday happens to be the same day that I take over full time in my internship. I teach from then until December 2nd. We have several students at our school who lived in the hurricane zone. One student was trapped in her attic and then air lifted out of N.O. Another student's uncle was in N.O. after the storm when the bottom floor of his two story (luckily) town house flooded within a matter of 15 minutes. He was lucky to have a car parked in a garage a few blocks away that was not flooded, but he had to swim back through the contaminated water for several blocks to retreive his keys to the car from his flooded house. Of course it is devasting to lose a home, but it is the everyday relationships and routines that are the real loss.
It is raining Rita here. That's a big storm.
