Hurricane Unit


Just passing along some hurricane links for those that might be interested in learning a little bit more. Right now there are 2 systems in the water; Hurricane Gustav which will make landfall most likely tomorrow and then there is Tropical Storm Hanna in the Atlantic Ocean.

Don't you just love hurricane season? And to have a storm named Hanna. I always knew Hannah was sneaky and caused troble. Hope she does not come your way to cause you trouble. We are supposed to get Gustav's rain here Tuesday, the day of our Not Back to School Party. Thanks for all the info.

P.S. Looks like Hanna is heading your way. Are you ready?

She is suppose to be heading our way. We will be reading. Right now Squirrel is a little freaked out. We are just going to read about hurricanes this week and just get ready. I am not too concerned about it right now. If it does come it will only be a Cat 1, but we will still be prepared.
