I have to update all this Hurricane stuff twice too. I also do this at work for the SCDOT, so I post all the information there and then here.

I used to also do it on my homepage, but got tired of that reaaaal fast.

LOL, then stop doing it for the SCDOT (in case others dont know he means South Caralina Department of Transportation) and just do it for us.

LOL, they pay me - aka they get priority.

As mentioned above... Category 2

See, I can't be excited about Hurricanes without looking cruel, LOL. I guess you have to love mother nature in all her "beauty." No doubt these storms are a thing of art in their own right. Perfection, yet destruction.
