Life In Raleigh

With Hurricane Gustav ending, and fortunately sparing New Orleans, everyone’s watching Hurricane Hanna coming in. I think the local TV station has a bit of an obsession with showing the weather on their brand-new Doppler tracking toy (they are hated in our house for interrupting my M-i-L’s soaps!)

Scientists at some organization called the “National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration” have predicted that Hanna (the storm formerly known as Tropical Depression 8) might run straight through town this coming weekend. Raleigh will be hosting Wide Open 3, a cultural festival of sorts which will celebrate the opening of the new Raleigh Convention Center, among other things.

This is only a projection for this storm, which could do anything from this point, as it wreaks havoc over the Bahamas. However, in the case that Hanna blows out to the east, Mother Earth has a backup plan to wipe out Raleigh Wide Open. The remnants of Hurricane Gustav may end up over North Carolina this weekend.
