Hanna, if you've got to come here where I am, please bear in mind a few things:

1. Savannah and Charleston aren't as famous for disaster as New Orleans, and not even physically as vulnerable, but still have a lot of poor people living in substandard housing with no transportation. Please give us a little time.

2. The RNC doesn't have us on its radar for potential media play.

3. All our big disaster people went off to help in NOLA.

4. But I don't want you to get anybody else, either. How about dissipating into severe rainstorms in the next few days?

On the east coast, unless you are right on the beach they are pretty much very windy rainstorms. The power lines go down and you should not get near them, Otherwise, meh.

Well, right now I am pretty much on the beach (my sister and I have a house down here, near Georgetown). Hugo left somebody else's house in our front yard in 89, when the storm surge was about 15 feet, but fortunately we didn't get the worst of the wind--however, some places much farther inland were in the direct path of the wind--roofs taken off and trees down all the way across the state. Most of the others have passed us by to make landfall in NC, but this one still looks like it's heading straight at us.
