Default Guess what I get to do today...
I'm going thru my level 4 hurricane list - looks like I gotta stage a bunch of generators today. Open up some containment dikes, move portable lighting units, just stuff. If we really follow this plan - we're gonna get the sandbags ready.

This'll be interesting. My first hurricane prep as a NASA direct employee. Tropical storm Eddie popped up yesterday. We went to level 4 at 10:00 last nite.

Tom

Tom, the company I used to work for did this - transported Nextel generators all over the U.S. when hurricanes and other natural disasters struck. I can remember working round the clock (hurricanes Ivan and Katrina) when they had to be scheduled.

I was watching GMA and they were saying that it looks like Texas will be right in the line of fire if the storm continues on the path it's on now.

Good luck with your assignment!

Hey Tom - stay safe! Now do they take the shuttles outside? I don't know why I am thinking that when we lived in Florida they took the shuttle outside for it was safer?? but, then again I could be dreaming it.....
