Hurricane Fay

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:15:11 -0500

I've got a lot of first time things going on in my life right now and I guess I can add my first hurricane to that. I've been watching the news and reading about it. As a California guy you say earthquake and I'm ok. I figure it's going to be 20-30 seconds and it's over. Hurricane, that's a different story. I've been asking the guys what's going to happen and then Drayton Florence started asking me if I'm scared. I wouldn't say scared, maybe anxious. I'm paying attention because it's a totally new experience. I guess it's not that big a deal, no one around the hotel seems too concerned about it. The guys and coaches just say it's going to be a lot of rain and thunder and lightning, they seem to be downplaying it. I know we're planning to practice. We'll either be outside, doubtful, or in a gym doing a walk through practice. They say it's hurricane season so I guess you get through this one and get ready for the next one.
