Off topic "beach trips during Hurricane season"
If you plan on making a beach trip during prime hurricane season, do you make plans long ahead of time and go anyway or wait and see how the 7 day weather forecast is? Every time I even think about making a beach trip, storms seem to pop up like crazy. Not totally bad since we're still in a drought where I live. about 1.5 to 2 weeks ago when I first thought of a beach trip, no storms. A few days later, one major hurricane, one tropical storm that probably will be a hurricane and in the same area I wanted to visit at the same time, plus several more areas looking ready to develop and ready to come right back at me. These storms seem to be popping up like strippers trying to get a dance. I could have sworn the thunderstorms I had over my house last night and today looked more like hurricane Gustav related rain even though I live in South Carolina. The storm today was only over my house and neighborhood, weird.
Reminds me of when my brother-in-law was interviewing for jobs in Florida. Every time he went somewhere, a hurricane hit there within one week that year. He had 4 different interviews. Afterwards they all had to do hurricane cleanup. I remember I once had an interview in Norfolk. The guys from the base were trying to show me the town but what I saw was flooded streets and one intersection had the waves splashing up on peoples front doors from cars driving through flooded roads. Lightning even knocked out the radar at the airport. Storms seem like strippers sometimes. They come around when you don't want them but are nowhere to be seen when you do.

Hanna should be watched closely. Best of luck to you should she visit. And now there is another on her tail, not including "Ike". Of course, living in South Florida, unlike watching strippers, I watch all Storms.
I once experienced some violent wind shear aboard a large airplane. It felt like a roller coaster for a minute there and you could hear the metal of the airplane wings banging against another air layer after we suddenly dropped. I thought it was fun but my mother was scared we were all going to die.
One night without traveling, I experienced the mother of all tornadoes. A supercell parked over my house when I was younger. It apparently spun off several tornadoes. Where I was at, the lightning became blaringly bright and nonstop for at least a few minutes. It was no longer flashing but just staying on. That scared me after I looked outside and realized I was temporarily blind. My vision came back. It's not necessarily bad luck, it's an adventure.
We have a number coming this way, in any case. If I'm going to get a BJ, I'd prefer it in a club rather than from Mother Nature! She can be a bitch!
