“Hi Mr. Spann, Mr. Elliott and Mr. Peters:
My daughter Jenny and I ventured to the beach at Hilton Head around lunch today to see the waves and build a sandcastle. Riptides are along the coast so we stayed very close to shore. The waves are gorgeous from approaching storm Hanna. Beaufort County Emergency Management recommended all schools be closed on Friday. Thankfully, the storm is veering from our area and there are no evacuations.
As we are breathing a sigh of relief about Hanna, many are nervous about Hurricane Ike. Thank you for all the hard work each of you do to keep us informed. The video blogs are an extra help as I’ve been emailing them to relatives in Washington State near Seattle, Louisiana, Boston and Northeast Alabama who are concerned about our safety since we live so close to the coast. They also appreciate the informative video weather forecasts.”
