<div dir="ltr"><div>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.</div>

<div>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 ;-)</div>

It'll rain a bunch, blow a little, and generally annoy me, but the site is far enough inland that the hurricane will have blown off a lot of energy before it gets there, and then will have moved through before Defender. The real threat is it stalling and sitting on us like that tropical storm a few years ago that resulted in me and Gesalec floating down the drainage ditches in a raft (yes, there was beer involved).<br>
<br>Personally, I'm not worried about it affecting Defender, but it may cause issues for me at work since I don't drive the truck and won't ride the bike in a hurricane (again).<br><font color="#888888">-- <br>
