Trouble Brewing

I had heard last week that there was a storm brewing off the coast of Africa (which is where the storms that turn in to hurricanes that hit here). There was talk about whether or not it would turn into a hurricane.

I watch this now for obvious reasons - the fact that it now has the potential to directly effect us, but there is another reason at the moment. Paul talked to our realtor Friday about the fact that the homeowners insurance person she gave me to call was taking a little longer to get us some quotes. It is VERY important that we get this quickly, because we are trying to close on the house so quickly. She said that if there is a potential for a hurricane, they will stall writing insurance and if it gets in the gulf, they suspend writing policies.

Friday, things looked okay. I got online a while ago and looked at the news because it appeared that a bad storm had gone through Louisiana and Mississippi. On our way home there were branches down all over the place. Instead of finding info on that, I found where Tropical Depression 5 turned into Tropical Storm Eduardo today. It formed pretty close to Louisiana at the mouth of the Mississippi. It appears that it is headed to Texas - with the possibility of becoming a hurricane, BUT keep your fingers crossed that we will get our insurance in place BEFORE hand, otherwise we might not close on time! :(
