That was quite an interesting read Melanie. I like learning new things too. Thanks for posting that.
Now, just a word for those who don't live in hurricane states & don't quite know what we might be expecting. I for one, have learned over the 58 years of FL living that you sit & wait & don't get all bent out of shape. At this point Erika could do anything at all -- go anywhere at all. We keep an eye on what "they" say is the predicted path but experience tells us it's too early to get all atwitter. So it's just watch but go about your daily business as usual at this point in time.
