was Re: [AT] WHERE IS EVERYONE now Hurricane Ophelia

[David Bruce]

Here we are having a stiff breeze from the southeast.  So far, dry and sunshine 
(we could use some rain - first time I've said that all summer).  Current 
forecasts for Ophelia put it's effects east of us.
I was in Charleston about 2 months ago and the Ravenel bridge was almost 
complete - that sure is a big sucker.  Next time I visit I'll make sure to drive 
over it - I'm sure the experience will be nothing like driving over the old spans :)
