It is hazy and overcast outside my window. Yet, we have told the office staff to stay home today and the guys in the field to use their heads as things progress out there today.
The joys of living along the Gulf Coast include the nearness of the beach...the other side of that coin is the possibility of hurricanes and tropical storms. Today, his name is Tropical Storm Edouard.
Thankfully, he didn't get the strength to make it to a category 1 hurricane before hitting land...though his winds were less than 10 miles away from qualifying. We are sitting on ready for massive amounts of rain -- up to 10 inches are possible in places -- and heavy winds. The winds may still be raging about 45 miles an hour when they make it to us early this afternoon. (And we are well inland!)
I am answering calls from home today...though Jim had to go out for a meeting. We will let you know if things get bad...but for now we think we will be okay. Just wanting to be safe and not sorry!
