Hurricanes
The hurricanes are coming!
Hanna is supposed to hit Friday night and Saturday morning. It's actually still a tropical storm but is headed over warmer water now so it should pick up speed and probably turn into a Category 1 hurricane. I think it should mostly hug the coastline after it hits the Carolina coast, so hopefully it doesn't dump too much rain on Winston-Salem.
Saturday is the first home football game with a 3:30 kickoff, and I'm also running a 5K at 8:30 am, so I'd really prefer the rain not to bother me too much. Tailgating in the rain just isn't as fun.
But then there is Hurricane Ike. It's following a similar path as Hanna is taking right now, but the difference is, it looks like one hell of a big storm. It is a Category 4 (5 is the highest) hurricane right now, but will probably slow down a bit. I think that'll hit around Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, and if it follows the same path where Hanna has caused damage already, it could be really messy.
Then Josephine is out there too, but she is also just a tropical storm at this point and hopefully will dissipate or just bring some calm rain instead of a raging storm.
Anyway, keep the coast of the Carolinas in your thoughts as they buckle down for the storms!
p.s. it really bothers me that the storm is named Hanna and not Hannah. That name should be a palindrome.
p.p.s. if you don't know where Winston-Salem is, I am like 4 hours from the coast so it's not going to be so bad for me.
