Sorry Hanna

"Hanna loses hurricane status"
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/02/hurricane.hanna/index.html



She's a melancholy tropical storm, tried to be a full-on Hurricane and got the snub. It's tough to go pro these days. Too much competition from guys like Ike packing 135 mph winds and staying South where he can get big.



That guy Ike, the real deal. Look the hell out, Miami.

Nonetheless, if all it took to make Poor Farm look like THIS was a couple of spring thunderstorms, Hanna should feel pretty good about her chances of at least cancelling the Twisted Tire. It's all about knowing your role, seeing the big picture. Regionally, Hanna, you're pretty tough, so keep your chin up.



Rainout date now appears to be November 9th, which just might score an ice storm for the second attempt. At least the ground will be solid.
