Well, we already have a tropical storm, welcome Barry

Normally, I would be all excited about anything in the hurricane family. I check every two hours on the computer, and set a timer for updates. But, this one is different. We need the rain so badly, and this will give us a lot at one time. We're inland here, so we won't even get any more wind than we do during summer storms. Rain without damage, isn't that nice? Hurray for Barry!
However, it is a good reminder that anyone that might be affected by these storms should plan ahead. To help a little, hurricane supplies are tax free in Florida this week.
Please take the time to make a disaster plan. If you need help, FlyLady covers it on page 19 of the control journal.
Weather Underground has great hurricane coverage, their site is www.wunderground.com.
Please do not take this to mean that I like real hurricanes. We are still trying to pay for the damages from the 2004 storms. I know that these things are not to be trifled with. That's why you should do everything you can to prepare now.



As a side thought, I thought it was funny that Barak Obama originally went by Barry. No relevance, just a silly thought.
