if all goes well, tropical storm hanna will make her way to the dc area. this would be my first natural disaster since i don’t really count blizzards and i’ve never been part of a flood or tornado (although one time my house got struck by lightning). anyway, trying not to think about all the death and destruction hanna has already caused and as long as no one else gets hurt, i’m kind of excited by this.
lastly, don’t you think “hanna” should be “hannah?” there’s something pleasing about that palindrome.
Gasp, did you say “Palin?” I knew it!
Well, with any luck your first hurricane is still in your future. Hanna doesn’t quite qualify, although she’s been flirting with it for the past day or so.
The last time a hurricane came close to Maryland was Hurricane Felix. The schools closed down and everyone was on alert. On the day Felix was supposed to hit, it was cool and sunny. So I went skateboarding…
