Hurricane Dennis
My wife and I are making preparations for Hurricane Dennis (RSS feed), which is expected to hit the northern Gulf Coast Sunday afternoon or Monday morning. The one vehicle is full of gas, and in a few minutes, we will go fill the gas tank on the other vehicle. We'll then return to our home, pack some clothes, pack our medications, and pack our important papers. Tomorrow morning, we will remove items which could become missiles in Dennis' 125+ mile per hour (200+ kilometers per hour) winds from our yard. We live in a manufactured home, and therefore, if Dennis heads our way, we will pack our computers and be headed to an evacuation shelter. If not, I'll attempt to keep you posted as Dennis affects us.
Please pray for the people that have been affected by Hurricane Dennis. In Haiti, at least 5 people have perished. In Cuba, the National Hurricane Center has reports of destroyed power and communications infrastructure and gusts up to 149 mph. Please also pray for us and whoever else is in the path of this dangerous hurricane, currently a Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson_Hurricane Scale.

Jack, we're praying for you and keeping an eye on Dennis. As you know last year in Orlando we were pounded several times. Now it's Pensecola's turn. I hate it.
How far are you from the projected path? Are you closer to Jacksonville or what?

Never mind. I found you. Tallahassee is your major FL city of locale.

John--Thanks, a little busy here with keeping an eye on the weather, but I hope to check out your blog later.
Rob--I understand, my aunt who lived in Longwood moved up to her son's farm in Ohio after the last hurricane season. Pensacola took a pounding from Ivan, though, as our sister church there had roughly $275,000 in damage. Yes, Tallahassee is my major locale, and where I work!
