Hanna's made landfall in NC...

Pams House blend  Sep 06 08

Saturday, 3:40 AM: Tropical Storm Hanna has made landfall, and here in the Triangle area of NC (I'm in Durham, we're in the middle of the state), we're feeling the effects right now, which is under a flash flood warning with tornadoes likely.

It's close to Hurricane 1 status at this point, with top winds of 70 mph. Here we will experience 35 mph gusts and a 3-5 inches of rain. That's enough to take out old trees and ones with shallow root systems. During Hurrican Fran (Cat 3) in 1996, there was a lot of devastation this far inland because the storm was so large.

Since a lot of the area has above-ground power lines, some of the grids may lose power this time around; we'll see. Full story...

Notorious Heterosexuals

I'm annoyed.

I've been reading a thread on a denominational bulletin board where some have been telling the LGBT people things l can't tolerate:

LGBT people need to convince the majority to allow them to have civil rights If most LGBT people are not Christian, how can Christians support their rights? Events like Southern Decadence show that LGBT people are not serious about marriage Isolated incidences of rage and violence by [some] LGBT people show that [all] LGBT people are not deserving of civil rights If LGBT people do not repudiate every violent and immoral act by LGBT people, they are tacitly supporting those actions

I'm fed up.
