Hanna is a nice name

We are getting ready for our very first Carolina hurricane. It's kind of exciting and kind of a drag. Also it isn't interesting. I'm conflicted as you can see.

Hurricane - sorry, tropical storm Hanna is expected to slice through the coastal area of our new home state. We here in the center of the state will get lots of rain. I don't mind rain, to be honest, although it will be a hassle to walk the dogs.

I was in Target today and heard people talking about stocking up for the hurricane. That really surprised me, because I hadn't thought about it. I looked at the shopping cart and considered going back for some beer - It may not be possible to weather a hurricane or tropical storm without any - but decided against it.

Although we are not out of the hurricane splash area, we are, thankfully, far enough inland to avoid having to stock up much on supplies. I may be mistaken and I may come to regret my cavalier attitude, but it doesn't have me very scared.
