Hurricane Dennis is making things gusty around here now. It's reminding me of Tropical Storm Cindy who came by last Tuesday.
The hurricane may go to our East, which will place us on the "good" side of the storm. The strongest winds in a hurricane come out of the East, so if we are on the West side, we are in much better shape than others.
Still, we're definitely in the thick of things. It really doesn't matter where the exact eye makes landfall. The eye of Hurricane Ivan made landfall in Gulf Shores, AL last September 16, 2004, but Gulf Shores looked MUCH, MUCH better than Pensacola, FL did. So when you are watching the news, they will constantly say, "It's heading to Destin, FL!", etc., but the entire area should really be highlighted. Not only one town is devastated in a hurricane.
