Something could still fall through, but the odds are against it at this point.

I just herd a weather update by Frank Billingsley (He was the only local meteorologist to correctly predict Rita’s path last year. He said there is a chance of us getting hit by a hurricane Ernesto next weekend. It really depends on two high pressure systems.

I do not want to be moving in a middle of a hurricane. This might be one quick move if our window gets cut short.

We are still feeling last year’s hurricane season. There are still about 200,000 Katrina evacuees from New Orleans in town. And parts of East Texas are still torn up from Rita.

I bet you are glad to be out of Hurricane Alley. Florida stuck out right in the middle. North Carolina’s barrier islands seem to get a few hurricanes, but you should be okay in the mountains. Hurricanes don’t like mountains.
