The Pigtown Festival is still going on as planned, despite the dire forecast. My neighbour Jen and I decided to bail out. Most of my things are paper-based and with the humidity hovering around 97%, it will all be ruined. We also don't think that people will be strolling by, admiring our goods and spending their money!
It's just raining a little now, but we got about a quarter-inch overnight with the early bands of the storm. However, they're predicting that the weather will deteriorate as the day goes on. But, as with hurricanes, the weather tomorrow will be wonderful!
Here's the satellite image from about 9:00 this morning:
You can see the eye right on the North Carolina/Virginia border.

That's a bummer. I hate hurricanes!
ReplyDeleteHi, I live on the coast of N.C. and Hanna should be out of here in another hour. We lost lots of limbs but no trees. The winds got up to 45 mph but the rain is still coming down steady. You were smart to bail. We were lucky she wasn't soooo bad but she certainly is not festival weather!!
ReplyDeleteAnon... the real winds haven't hit here yet, but the rain has really picked up.
ReplyDeleteBummer. But I think you made the right decision.

I'm sorry you had to miss the event, but you made the right call. The humidity would have been way to much to deal with. Not to mention the rain.
