Anyone down Florida way heard the latest about Gamma?


I just got a call from my son Josh, and it looks like he will not be home
for Thanksgiving after all. Tropical storm Gamma is possibly going
to turn into a level 1-2 hurricane and hit southern Florida Monday
morning, the day he was to return home. Even if it stays at 30-40mph winds, combined with the moisture it could cause several or many tornadoes in the area, according to the hurricane center.

The Red Cross has told him that the airport will be closed by Sunday
so his flight will be cancelled, and while today he was in the process of
closing up the warehouse, tomorrow they will rush to get it ready again.
They want him to stay another week, and it will probably be that long
before he could get a flight out of Miami anyway.

Tomorrow the Red Cross, US Weather and Hurricane Centers, and
local government officials will be meeting to discuss updated storm
information and to decide whether to start re-opening shelters immediately
to allow people living in already damaged homes a safe place for Monday.

Now Kathy and I are really getting concerned. We'll probably be glued
to the weather channel all weekend.
