Rain - the storms

Last week, them remnants of Hurricane Fay dumped 6+ inches of rain in our area. Some of our friends, with rain gauges in their yards measured 13 inches. It really depended on which bands of rain passed overhead. Our friends in Atlanta were also glad to get the rain, filling up their reservoits. Any way you look at it, the drought that we were having is off the daily news shows, at least for now.

With Hurricane Gustav heading toward LA, please pray for my friend BP and his family as they evacuated NOLA ahead of this storm. He will be heading back to NOLA on Wed or Thurs to assess any damages. Although his house was without power for 3 weeks after Katrina, he experienced none of the flood damages. I pray for his safety this time as well.

It appears that Tropical Storm Hanna is on track for arrival here next weekend. The current forecast puts her at about Greenwood, SC on Friday at about 8PM, meaning Saturday and Sunday will be wet around here. That is if things do not change.
