[color=#000000]Yes boys & girls, it's that time of year again, hurricane season. Alex is somewhere down around the Yucatan headed for the Mexico/TexicoTexas border, give or take a few miles. But we are already getting the outer rain

bands, which, so far have not really been near enough. But right now it is a bit cooler than it has been lately, a welcome respite. But, there's always a 'but' isn't there, having lived in hurricane central for sixty-one years, I

know there is always a chance that this one could stall out, gather strength, and change his destination more our way. And Texas, like Louisiana, Florida, and us (Mississippi), have had more than our share. I still remember

the 'results' of Camille, Frederick, and Katrina. But for now, it appears we will only get some rain out of Alex. Here's hoping.

PS: Hey Roy, as if you didn't already know, get ready to batten the hatch.

Its times like that, when I see the total destruction of property "over there", with hurricanes and tornadoes on the news, etc, that I am grateful for our British, temperate, mostly quiet, climate.

The worst thing I experience, is the occasional Earthquake and Wild Fire during my daily "flights?" around the State of California.... ....!

That's more than enough excitement for me, on a daily basis!... ...!

Take care, all you Folks in the Bible Tornado/Hurricane Belt!....
...keep us posted......!

Paul..... 8-)...!

I can say with quite a bit of certainty, that I do not want the remnants of that storm making it up here.  :(

At the rate we're getting storms and rain here, I'll never get my basement dry.  ::)

The last time a hurricane's aftermath made it this far, we lost power for 3 weeks, a lot of trees in the neighborhood, and all of my neighbor's roofing wound up in my backyard.

Don't forget to check the hurricanes out in FS, sometimes, the real world weather does a nice job of portraying them.

Katrina was enough for me.  I do still have a lot of family on the coast though, so I still track the storms.

[quote][color=#000000]What I want to see, is a tornado, though I doubt FS will do that. And even if it did, I don't want it to hurt anyone or cause any damage. Just stay up in the air for a little while and then fade away.

Its pretty quiet up here in the panhandle of florida. getting a good bit of rain, but very much welcomed cooler air. The very very outer bands of Alex have been passing by today. I've been here almost 4 years now, and have not yet gone through a hurricane (knock on wood).
