We have been on the road for thee days now. It seems like all we have been doing is chasing this one storm system. Hurricane Ida came in three days ago on Monday. We raced south immediately only to find that when the storm struck Florida and Alabama it really would not be that bad.
We consulted with Dr. Greg Forbes from the Weather Channel and decided there may be more of a threat of flooding from the storm inland possibly just north of Atlanta. We arrived in GA only to find out the storm front now moved east into South Carolina.
We kept on its tail, driving through wind and rain constantly only to find out the front kept on moving farther and farther east. We’re going to get some sleep tonight finally. We were able to get our gear out of the rain thanks to The Pete Store in South Carolina. They were kind enough to service the truck and put a new battery in the hovercraft. We should be ready to help if this storm decides to stop moving so fast and settle down on a city somewhere.
As of now, we're going to get some food and a few hours of sleep. I hope it was not a mistake to follow this storm half way across America. But if it stands still for more than a day, we’ll be right on top of it, ready to help whomever needs us.
