It isn't often that you see Arizona in the path of a hurricane.
Its a weak level 1 and won't even be a tropical storm by the time it gets here. Hopefully it will cool things off and give us some much needed rain.

Hope you get the rain you need Azlen....and please keep all of it! We live in Texas and are way above our rainfall for the year. This past weekend was supposedly the last of the "summer" and it rained all day Saturday and most of Sunday. Guess I shouldn't complain but it would have been nice to have happened like on Monday and Tuesday. :-)

My thoughts and prayers go out to all who live in Marty's path. Although it doesn't sound like a huge system (like our Isabel), I feel for anybody who is even slightly affected. Having just been through Isabel's wrath, I'm here to say that it's NO FUN!

Midlifer, I hope things are going better for you since the aftermath of Isabel. I can't imagine what you must have gone through, but know that with each day, it will get better.

Just saw the morning news and see that the Mid-Atlantic is getting hit with heavy thunderstorms and a tornado warning in Richmond, VA. Good grief...you'd think enough is enough. Hope you all out there are OK.

Guess what, Mack! I just posted in the Isabel thread. That tornado came within miles of where I live! No joke! It cut another path, and what was repaired/restored is now lost. I think that we can drink the water again, but I need to check tonight's news to be sure. This tornado (F-1 category) started in the south-central part of Virginia, worked a path out to the Chesapeake Bay.

Bulletin...next week: blizzard?

Wow Mid, glad you escaped that one but I'm sorry for the people that got hit. Had my fill of Northern Virginia and escaped to Texas this past March....44 inches of snow this past winter was the last straw. It was either move or get a new wife and I've already done that too much!

Yep and DW has told me that she's my last....one way or the other. When we got married we moved DW from Huntsville, AL, to Virginia. She kept talking about having left the "south" even though I reminded her that it was "Vah-gin-yah". We now live in San Antonio, TX and we're in Central Time, or as DW calls it, Real Time.

Well, I live in Virginia (Central), but I was born in D.C., raised in Northern Virginia, don't want to go back there. I do love Central Virginia, and I love being close to the ocean, mountains, and metro areas (D.C.), so I have the best of all worlds here. It's also beautiful in the spring and fall (I need my 4 seasons).

Back to Marty...how did you all fare?

Mid - I was born in DC also. Father was US Air Force and was stationed at Boling AFB. Didn't grow up there but moved back there in 1987 from Germany (government employee). Lived in the Reston/Herndon area near Dulles Internation and worked in the Pentagon until March of this year and finally got a transfer. The older I get the more I'm into 3 seasons....can get by without winter. :-)
