But I hope it's not too bad :lol:

I think you're going to be okay. You might be delayed out of ATL, but they can take a different flight path to avoid anything doing with Ernesto. By the time you leave Friday morning, it will be off the coast of SC.
I really hope so....Im sure everything will be cool. I was just reading this from www.weather.com :
Ernesto weakend dramatically Sunday afternoon and was downgraded to a tropical storm. Top winds are estimated to be near 50 mph, mainly in thunderstorms to the northeast of the center of circulation. Ernesto has been moving just off the Haiti coast and interaction with the mountainous terrain of Haiti is believed to have weakened the system. Ernesto will still have interaction with the Haitian coast through tonight, which could weaken the tropical storm even more. Tomorrow Ernesto is forecast to move toward Cuba and could have a small window of opportunity to strengthen before making landfall in the early afternoon. Ernesto is forecast to remain over Cuba for about 24 hours before emerging into the Florida Straits Tuesday afternoon.

beats an earthquake any day. :lol: :animwink: :wave:
I believe an earthquake doesn't last that long, as compared to a hurricane. They both cause alot of damage, but the amout of hurricanes you guys have compared to earthquakes we get is alot different. we do get little ones but the dont really do anything. the last huge one was like 15 or so years ago I think, in SF.
I hope this thing just dies out or swings, no one needs this right now after last year.

I pretend. I crank up the window A/C unit and turn on a 21” floor fan to simulate a power outage due to a major storm. It’s good practice. :wave:
I have them running now.

After Katrina, it was very hot and humid but it wasn't that bad. Wilma was much nicer because the weather was cool. We'll see what happens :lol:

I thought I was going to die after Dennis! It was so hot and humid in the house I had to go outside. We couldn't get a wink of sleep day or night! There was no breeze at all. I vowed to never let that happen again! After Ivan, the weather was nice. Just as you described Wilma, it was cool at night and we had a light breeze. We could sleep with some comfort. I really disliked not having a shower to clean up. I've solved that problem too. I now have a battery operated shower! :lol: :wave:

Awesome! :lol:
The shower thing...ahh! During Katrina, the cold shower was very nice. But omg during Wilma
You could hear me yelling and I kept running back and forth so I wouldn't be under the cold water for long :lookaroun
That was us after Ivan and Katrina both. Ivan was worse because power was lost longer. It was so hot and humid. The kids were miserable and complaining. We were lucky though. We only went 2-3 days. Nothing like you guys on the coast.
