Hurricane Earl is headed to the Carolinas and then move north along the East Coast.
Why, of course, we here at Poolsville pray for the people who could be left battered and bruised by a Category 5 hurricane hitting town.
This is also a college football blog and while we are sensistive to those whose lives might be impacted, we also wonder about the impact Earl could have on the games this weekend.
And, in particular, the much ballyhooed Boise State-Virginia Tech game to be played in D.C.
While the current forecast calls for Earl to hit D.C. on Friday, if the storm is delayed, lingers on the ocean before making landfall or causes epic devastation, will the game be played?
And just in case anyone has forgotten what a hurricane can do, above is a photo I took in Metairie, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina but before Hurricane Rita arrived in 2005.
I wasn't anywhere close to a body of water, assuming I don't count the fetid water that had pooled up in the streets and ditches.
