Well Hurricane Gustav wasn’t the ‘storm of the century’ as predicted but still created some flooding and wind damage in La. It has been down graded to a tropical depression.
Currently there is lots of activity in the tropics,Hurricane Hanna is bearing down on the southeastern US,tropical storm Ike is intensifying and a new depression has formed off the coast of Africa.
The next week or so should be interesting.

Nothing new to report from here except that it was very windy yesterday and we lost a large tree branch that landed in the road partially hitting a passing vehicle. A few dents and a broken windshield were the result, there were no injuries to the passengers. It would have been much worse had the tree landed squarely on the car.

Temps are currently running in the normal ranges here (20 to25C).There is some rain and thunder expected on Wednesday and then it’s back to sunshine as the kids start a new school year on Thursday.
We may get some rain and wind from Hanna late this week or early next if it lasts that long.
