So I am watching last night's news, and the newsreader mentions that "in less than two hours" this years hurricane season will begin. Made it sound as if a hurricane was lurking somewhere in the shadows, just waiting for midnight. And no fair having a storm before 1 June. No fair, doesn't count.

On the other side, this tv station is proactive and has a reasonably good list of items to have on hand on their website, and once a year publishes a handout with that, emergency phone numbers, and the evac routes from the beach areas.

Struck me as funny tho... "in less that two hours"... "Quick Martha, grab your stuff, we gots to go now"...
