It's not even Hurricane Season yet. Kinda gives you pause as to how this year may turn out.

So far, the gasoline futures traders haven't picked up on it yet
They must be asleep on the job today?

Sure is early for this.
So far my reports for this year, if they pan out, is that there will be fewer and less powerful storms but there will be more going up the Eastern Seaboard like they did a few years ago. Not wishing anything on them and their direction but most of these wind up curling back out to sea to the North East and fizzle on.

Yeah, the resort down there is quite nice. Would be horrible if this thing ruined it for you.

This is just a test of your MH forum. If this was an actual emergency - it would be in RED! :)
