So, we go from winter storms to tropical storms. Hanna is on her way and we may have to deal with some of the remnants this weekend. So, I'm going to make sure my laptop and phone are charged, double-check my insurance, and make sure there are batteries in the flashlight.
Before a winter storm, we always went to the store for milk and bread--not sure why--we never ate bread and drank milk during the storm, but it seemed like the thing to do. I wonder if you run to the store for anything during a tropical storm? Ice? Batteries?
Of all weather events, do you know which are the most deadly in the US? If you guessed winter storms you would be right. So, at least, we can mark that off the docket.

I told you to watch out for those hurricanes!!! One way to look at it...a tropical storm is basically a good ol' Iowa severe thunderstorm, but maybe with a little more rain. Probably not this year, though!!! We miss you guys and hope you stay safe if the storm hits there this weekend!

Hanna...not good; but at least it has a name and it will come and go...unlike over 100+ days of snow cover and 60+ inches of snow, almost unbearable cold, and even more days of no sunshine. And, it's almost time for all that to begin again. I'm thinking...tropical for me might be good.
Pastor Glenn,
Your predecessor preached a message based on a true story called "A Priceless bag of Ice."
Not too sure how long Bethel archives the messages but I highly recommend it.
Hurricanes that come ashore directly, slow down and dump a lot of rain. Hanna will be more like what is called a Nor'Easter

Another piece of advise:
Avoid filling your frig and freezer during the peak hurricane month of Sep. During Isabel, we were without power for 12 days, and lost everything that we couldn't quickly grill or eat.
