Hurricane Hanna and Ike

Hurricane Hanna has now headed north and is forecasted to pass over Topsail Island.  Here is Hanna's track.

Surf City Mayor Zander Guy called all homeowners (via automatic messaging) and told me that Hanna would cross the island about 2 am Saturday morning (9/6/08).

What should you do?  If you are staying there and were going to leave Saturday morning anyway, then think about leaving Friday night.  If you're coming in on Saturday, then first make sure the storm has passed, then call the homeowner you are renting from to see if the house and island are okay for you to come down.  If there is no significant damage, then come on down.  In fact, there is often very beautiful weather after a hurricane passes.
