Weekend Roundup- Enough With the Storms Already Edition

The gulf coast area has been taking a pounding, with Faye dumping rain across Florida a few weeks ago, Gustav hitting south Louisiana, Hannah running up the east coast last weekend, and now Ike hitting the Galveston and Houston area on Friday night. Please keep all those who got flooded or received storm damage in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully some of the cool weather will start dropping down to the southern US keeping anymore from hitting this year.
