[AT] test - Hanna and Fran

[David Bruce]

Here just west of ATIS central we barely got any rain (not even enough 
to dampen the seeds I sowed in the garden yesterday).  Overcast and we 
might get another shower or two this morning but it is doubtful.

I remember Raleigh after Fran.  My best friend from college (and 
ex-brother in law) lives to the south of downtown and after Fran passed 
by he had 4 trees on his house.  During Fran's approach I stood in my 
yard looking east.  I could see clearly the edge of the rain bands while 
standing in my sunny yard.
