You are referring to Allison?  That was June 2001.  I went up to Dallas the
weekend after it passed through Houston, didn't watch any news, and was
shocked to come home to what looked like a war zone.  Quite a few people
have gotten fuzzy about Allison because of what happened in September that
year, but I remember turning around a corner and finding myself driving
through a wall of water.

How much work needs to be done to the site?  Is there any way that can be
done during the week before the storm hits?  Or after?  If you are worried
that the storm might affect preparations, brainstorm a contingency plan.  I
can't imagine the weather even being too rainy to go out to the site over
the weekend.  There's a reason hurricane evacuees swarm to Huntsville ;-)

Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning!

Beowulf, 1-11
