So much for working today.

So much for working today. She who must be obeyed just gave the OK for
putting up the storm shutters.

I don't know if this hurricane is going to be a problem or not. The latest
discussion includes the possibility that it will emerge from Cuba early
enough to allow it to develop into as much as a category 2. Regardless, the
shutters are safer up than being stacked on the side of my patio, where even
a category 1 storm could turn them into deadly missiles. The shutters, I
can do unassisted, whenever. Other preparations require more than two
hands.

From what I have been following, it (if you mean storm ernesto) seems that
it has been downgraded to "storm" grade weather, which I am sure can still
cause enough damage, particularly if your shutters are sitting on the patio.

If not Ernesto, which one?

Good luck with this one, Lee. And everyone else in the storm's path ...

It's Ernesto. It's only a tropical storm at the moment, but the discussion
includes the possibility that it will strengthen once it clears Cuba and may
increase to a category 1 or 2 before it gets here. Normally, I don't do
anything for a tropical storm . . . provided I'm sure that's all it is.
Wilma was supposed to be a category 1 storm and some weather researchers
claim that's all it was. If so, it was the biggest baddest category 1 we've
ever seen. It tore the crap out of Browed County.

The way that keep revising the track projections for Ernesto, you're
going to be on the clean side of it within one or two more
revisions... Right *now*, it is forcast to go pretty much directly
over the top of your house... A couple of days ago, it looked like it
was going to be hitting southern Texas... At this rate, the only
people who probably won't be able to avoid it is the Bahamas...

Looks like those of us on the West Coast are going to dodge another
one. Hope it dies out some before it gets to you.

There's 90 miles of warm water between Cuba and Key West

I do hope that you were able to get those other containers for the gas
and get them filled recently.
