I figured since we have the first named storm going on right now, we may as well have a hurricane thread for the season so we can keep in touch with each other, and provide info for those who may have never experienced this phenomena.
Right now in NC we are experiencing some of what is left of Tropical Depression Alberto, which here so far has been somewhat of a non-event, except for some badly needed rainfall. It must be moving along pretty quickly, as right now it is currently sunny outside, but five minutes from now it will be pouring rain I'm sure. Wind has picked up since this morning, but no more than we would normally have on any given afternoon this close to the Atlantic Coast (I live less than 10 miles from the beach).
I understand Florida has had minimal damage, and got some badly needed rain as well (that should drown out any more forest fires, hopefully). Georgia has seen some tornadic activity, with some damage near Savannah, and I hope no one there was seriously injured.
We should be back to normal tomorrow and the rest of the week. THe fishermen competing in the Big Rock Blue Marlin tournament should be happy for that.
