Hurricane er I mean Tropical Storm Hanna

I thought I should give you all an update of Tropical Storm Hanna in case any of you are concerned about our well-being.
The storm reached Wake Forest around 7AM on Saturday 9/6, but I should start with the timeline a little sooner than that in order to give you the full effect

Friday 2 PM It starts to sprinkle. Everyone at work talks about ‘the hurricane’ and how important it is for them to be home in order to get ready for it. Suddenly everyone at work was interested in the weather conditions and more particularly how they need to get home instead of staying at work.

Friday 3:30PM Everyone at work has gone home, except for me and my manager. We have a meeting at 4PM. There are no winds and it isn’t sprinkling anymore.

Friday 6PM Just before I get home from work it starts raining.

Saturday 5AM I wake up and think to myself, ‘I really need to run my 10 miles today. I wonder if the storm has passed over so I can get out and exercise.' I check the weather and the radar map is showing that it is going to hit Wake Forest in about 3 hours. I look outside and it is raining with a little bit of wind. I decide that I will only be out for 1.5 hours, so I should be fine and I go out and run.

Saturday 5:30AM to 7AM A few gusts of winds I would judge about 20 to 30 miles and hour, with frequent rain patches. I thought in my head about 5 times that this might have been a bad idea for me to be exercising in this weather.

8AM Everyone in the house is still sleeping. I think the dark weather tends to make people sleep more hours.

9AM My home teacher calls to make sure we’re fine. By mistake calls my mom’s (who is in AZ) house instead.

10AM It starts to rain more, and Mark and Sarah are fighting.

12PM (now) It is still raining.

So my overall opinion of tropical storm Hanna is this – it is wet.

I went out to take this picture in my bare feet, when I walked on the grass it felt almost like walking on a sponge there was so much water in the soil.
