Re: TROPICAL DEPRESSION FOUR its that time of year
Here we go...
I have this deep feeling that I will be let go as a full incharge paramedic just in time to work a natural disaster.. Or better yet, I will become an incharge BECAUSE of one..

Re: TROPICAL DEPRESSION FOUR its that time of year
So glad Im away from Mobile and the Miss. coast and nice and inland in San Antonio. Though Ill miss the overtime the extra workload wasnt.
After working through a few tropical storms, Katrina, Ivan, special unit to Texas after Ike, heck every storm to affect the central gulf in the last 8 years it's nice to not have to watch the gulf and the tropics as much.

Re: TROPICAL DEPRESSION FOUR its that time of year
Oh I know we'll get some stuff if one comes this way but it will be lots better than being on the gulf.
Being 140ish miles inland beats being 15miles inland. Im still kinda ready. Got my big generator and 40gals worth of gas cans if needed.
