Thank you Brian and Bobby,
Yes, it has gained strength, tetering on transforming into a Cat 1 Hurricane, we never know what these rascally (wascawy, as my man Elmer Fudd would say) Trop Storms have in store.
If one can keep from having heart failure watching the breathless, hyper Chicken Littles in the media, the actual storm itself may be rather easily contended with in comparison to the chatterbox talking heads working folks into a lather.
It is a good idea to be prepared for this stuff, we have a backup generator, plenty of water and batteries and my house was built to some exacting standards (way over and above 2002 Hurricane Code) since I was the builder and had access to the very latest technology I doubled all the strapping and bracing among other things. I did what was humanly possible, but it is in the Lord's Hands ultimately, praise Him!
No fear here, just faith that it all is under His control for His purpose.
Thanks again,
Joe
P.S. Sorin, how did you know this was going to become a hurricane? You getting inside information? :shock:
