wow they are already putting va in a state of emergency due to hanna. looks like we are gonna have tropical storm force winds and possably tornadoes (and i live in a trailer park yeah me!!!) hopfully they are wrong like they kinda were with gustav and we really wont get hit by much. funny little story about isabel in 2003: my wife, 6month old daughter and i were living at my in-laws house for isabel. in laws had to go to tennesse for family emergency. we had never been through a hurricane before. so we are geting prepared for it and the phone rings. i go answer it and heres what was said: (me) hello? (on the phone) hey this is isabel yall should get out of there! (me) huh? my jaw hit the ground holy crap the hurricane is telling us to leave this is a bad sign! after a couple seconds i relize its my in-laws landlord isabel. i laugh everytime i hear the name isabel now.

Hello, this is HANNA. Y'all better get out of the trailer park, 'cause I'm blowing thru! Good luck and Stay safe!

in't goin no where unless they upgrade it to a hurricane for us. i delt with isabel which was a cat 2 hurricane when it hit us we stayed in a trailer for most of isabel till power went out. so im not too worried i bought some stuff incase the power goes out and i might tape some windows but doubt it

Try not to be too stubborn about evacuation...we like our members around here in one piece and not so thrown about...

if they upgrade then i will but im not leaving the area due to a tropical storm

I sharpened the chain, and laid in a supply of bar oil and fuel/oil mix. The only question for me is whether to park in the garage or outside on the other side of the house, away from the trees.Last winter I heated my house exclusively with Isabel, this winter it will be with Ernesto

Hi, this is HANNA again. I'm a wind (removed) and I'm blowin' everyone in the Southeast....hahahaha!

My generator is gassed up and ready to go.

Nope. He has to fend for himself outside.

here comes the first rains. No wind yet.

decent rain right now but not really any wind and i gotta work all day tomm. i work at a vacation resort and i have to work yeah me!

yeah i'm on standby to start sandbagging the bases in DC should the water start rising.

Water is so damaging to a home. I'm glad you are on standby.If anybody gets flooded get a portable sump pump to pump the water out and save your back. They sell them at Loews and Home Depot.Preparations at our house: I got my lanterns ready, drinking water, put batteries in the radio and flashlights, charged the walky talkies. I also have a landline phone for emergencies and a chainsaw. We had to cancel a trip to see a friend in Norfolk this weekend due to the weather. And right behind Hanna is Ike. I doubt I will "Like Ike".Blueridge9

yeah currently we havent gotten called out but I expect it to happen tonight early tomorrow morning if it does happen

Suffolk got throught it okay. not nearly as bad as suspected. No power outages. I didn't even lose satellite.

Hanna was pretty much just a rain event here. The attached pic is from the most unusual thing I saw around here during the peak of the storm
