OK. Survived Tropical Storm Hanna without any problems Friday night. A lot of wind and rain. The whole region basically shut down at 1 p.m. We were taking this thing seriously in Charleston.
I knocked off from work at 11:30, but not before some of us tied all movable things down (I still wonder if any of our guys checked the porto-let to see if anyone was using it before roping the door shut and lashing it to a concrete barrier? Would have been a long weekend for somebody!)
Stayed home that night and monitored the storm's progress on the radio. What didn't help was that around 1:45 p.m. the emergency broadcast warning tone sounded on the local radio station. I kind of sat upright, notebook out, waiting for a new dispatch on the storm. Not quite. This was only a test of the emergency broadcast system.
A great time for the monthly test, I thought.
About the only possible effect I could point to was that my wireless Internet was out of commission until Tuesday. Could have been from the storm, but possibly not, too. May have just been one of those things, like the monthly emergency broadcast test.
Had the usual flooding downtown, and a lot of rain everywhere else. But it wasn't bad here.
