Ernesto Round I
First hurricane of the season! His name is Ernesto and he's pretty mild, looks like. My family is conveniently located at all major hurricane-prone areas (west coast, east coast, southern tip), so one way or another someone will probably evacuate to stay with someone else. People are on hyper-alert around here - after Charley, my mom did some major hurricane-prep pantry stocking, in addition to storm windows (also known as "sheets of plywood") and such necessities. Here's hoping it doesn't do any big damage.
