Looks Like We’re in the Path of Hurricane Katrina
While we will be watching closely, I spent long hours last night packing up the inside of the trailer and this morning we’re attacking the outside, replacing the hot water heater that is leaking and packing up to head out. Where? Where else? Away from the hurricane. Hurricane Katrina is now pretty much confirmed to […]
Hurricane Katrina Approaches
Yes, another hurricane is on its way. And wow, it’s almost the end of August and we are already into the “k” for hurricane names. Hurricane Katrina. That’s a lot of hurricane names used up this year. Brent said, in that authoritative way he has, that they just keep going with the names at the […]
Returning After Hurricane Dennis
We arrived very late last night back in Mobile, Alabama. We drove all day from Tunica, Mississippi, just south of Memphis, Tennessee, to get back. We worked into the early hours of the morning to set up the trailer in the dark and get the basics running again. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, […]
Watching Hurricane Dennis from Tunica, Mississippi
July 10, 2005, 1300 CST, Tunica, Mississippi The only reason we have a television is to watch the very occassional decent science fiction show and watch the weather channel.

It is […]

We are now sitting in one of the RV campgrounds that we totally loath, but it serves a purpose for us, several fold, and so we shall stay until the hurricane passes Mobile, Alabama, and then we’ll take two days to return back to our little country-home style campground, surrounded by trees, green grass, birds, […]
Evacuating Mobile, Alabama
This is a fast note to all that we are leaving Mobile, Alabama, NOW. We’re almost packed up and I’ll be offline until we find another WIFI note. Posts will still be released on this site automatically (YEAH WordPress), but Brent and I will not be able to get email and such for at least […]
Making a Decision About Hurricane Dennis
If you have been following our life over the past…well, at least the past 10 years that we’ve lived on the road, you will know that where trouble is, we tend to already be planted in the middle of it. We arrive in Israel in time for the millenium and the start of the Intifada. […]
Hurricane Names for 2005
Well, we’ve been hit by the first Tropical Storm in the Altantic Ocean that, luckily, did not turn into a hurricane, but I thought you might like to know the storm names that will be issued this year. Since we are in the direct path of many of the potential tropical storms and hurricanes that […]
