Well, I'm gonna type fast because we don't know how long power will last. We've been without electricity and mostly without cell phone for two days - and Hurricane Hannah didn't even hit us! We have gotten a lot of rain and occasional wind out of the outer bands of Hannah as she went by but nothing bad - no damage and (knock on wood) no flooding.
It looks like Hurricane Ike is going to miss us which is a very good thing because right now out over the Atlantic it is a Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph winds. The forecasts have it going well north of us. We may get some rain but it shouldn't be anything too bad (we hope!).
BTW - did you know our word "hurricane" comes from the Taino word "hurican?" The Tainos were the last native people on the island before the Columbus and the Spanish came.
