ERNESTO
Family and friends,
Its Tuesday around news time and we have been watching the news reports. Ernesto is possibly going to visit the Charleston area WEDNESDAY night. We all will work tomorrow and prepare to behome on Thursday ( SNOW DAY) and go back to work on Friday.
The storm is expected to begin heavy rain bands Wednesday night and rain all through the night, the eye of the storm will probably arrive Thursday morning, and as it passes over us it isnt expected to leave until Thursday night around 11:00.
AT this time we wont evacuate. We live on the third floor and our only concern at this point will be our cars. Last week when it rained 4.5 inches in an hour, Tim say many cars floating downtown, so we will have to get creative to keep our cars from floating.
We are preparing to stay here, and at the very worst the power may go out, and be out for hours or even a day or two. Hopefully not because it has been miserably hot here.
I am planning as though we will have no power and so I dont want you to worry. IF you dont hear from us. We will probably just be here watching it rain and curlling up with all the new books we have, eating tuna and crackers.
As soon as power is on I will write on the blog, and email. Last time we went through this kind of storm, the phone lines were just jammed so we are trying to not add to the problem.
If you want to email us, or have any storm questions we will gladly try to answer for you. scshells@comcast.net
There is a HUGE effort being put forth for this storm. It may or may not be over kill but atleast its there if need be.
In case you are wondering if we have an evacuation plan, we do. Elizabeth's friend Steve has offered us his house, ( he is out of town and sort of worried about it) in Summerville which is 27 miles east of where we are. If we need to we can evacuate to Charlotte NC but that seems pretty unnecessary since the storm has been downgraded to a tropical storm. IF it was a CAT3 Hurricane we would have gone to Charlotte today.
Keep in mind a CAT1 are wind speeds of 45-55 mph. And remember we ARE proudly from Wyoming where that is a breeze on a good day. So until it gets worse than a Hurricane 1 we will stay put.
Its interesting to watch these storms develop but you cannot imagine the technology we have seen NOAH use to predict the path of storms as well as the tornados, lightening strikes and rainfall amounts. Science is an amazing thing.
WE know you all are thinking of us and we dont want you to worry, Just hope you will jump on the surfboard and enjoy the ride with us. Travel is so Broadening. :)
