Hurricane's a Comin'!

Go figure.

We get within three weeks of the end of hurricane season with not a single major storm, when lo and behold, one forms out in the gulf.

Her name is Ida, and she's just been upgraded to a category 2 hurricane.

If you weren't aware (which most of my Tennessee people weren't because, well, why would you really care?), Ida formed a couple of days ago, went over Nicaragua as a fairly weak system, and was downgraded to a tropical depression. Once she was back over the water, she gained momentum and was labeled a Cat. 1, until recently when she was bumped up a notch.

So long as she doesn't get any stronger, we're going to ride the storm out. I just checked the weather channel, and it's supposed to be downgraded to a Cat. 1 by the time it makes landfall Tuesday.

*edit*

Now we're under a hurricane warning. I'm only slightly concerned because we're about half a mile off the coast, and I can't help but wonder of minor flooding is going to be an issue and we're gonna have to scramble to save our TV.
