Now that's my kinda LF! Slap that on a 4000 with some Trammell music and I'm in heaven! 

[Localonthe8s]

It's going to provide needed rain in my area. My plants are dying.

[lfmusiclover]

I'm actually looking more forward to Ike than Hanna to be honest. Ike's already a Cat 4. It looks like its going to take a track similar to Hanna's, so we could be in for a real doozy in a few more days. 

[Mike M]

We're under a tropical storm wind warning!

Ike back up to cat 4!
