Headed This Way
I guess it's official when the weather folks extend the hurricane warnings to an area less than 20 miles from your home. Destin is now included in the warning area. I've found another Florida Panhandle blogger at http://paperfrog.com/, and there's a little hurricane-blogging going on there. Picked up a case of water at Sam's on Thursday, but unless Frances does a massive intensification (to Cat 3 or above), that'll be it for my storm prep. Well away from water here, so storm surge is no factor. Not near any creeks, rivers, or bayous, so not much flood hazard (and the ground here is so sandy I've never seen a puddle in the yard in the last 25 years).
