Storms and Rain

We were very fortunate that there was limited damage and no power lost during Irene's quest of the east coast. Lots of cleanup around campus and throughout the area, but all in all very minor compared to some folks we know. Our Friends of Jaclyn girl, Reese, and her family had a huge tree destroy their house. A picture of their home was an Assoc. Press photo so it was seen in many newspapers around the country. They will be misplaced for about 8-weeks. That is never a good situation when school started this week and they are without familiar surroundings. They also have to drive a ways to get Rhett and Reese to school. Meanwhile our students arrived safely to begin their school year. So we are off and running this week. Now Lee and Katia are causing some serious rains and many thunderstorms. It doesn't help our Fall sports schedules when everything is soaking. Right now we are all safe and sound, afterall we do need the rain since the summer was so hot and dry. Besides the rain is good for all those Fall lawn reparation duties.
