Gustav...in Arkansas

This is one view from the window(s) in my office. Typically, the green trees you see are, by this time of the year (just coming off August), brown.

Not so much this year. We had two high water events earlier in the year (March and April) and now, we are in the midst of dealing with what is left of Hurricane Gustav. Couple that with the fact we really didn't have a scorching summer (we had some rain throughout June, July, and August), and you get green trees. I hope this means we will have a beautiful fall (the silver lining in all those grey clouds!).

Most predictions are saying the State of Arkansas could get up to 10 inches in some areas. That could be a bad thing.

We're watching this event closely and I hope this storm will soon pass (without any further damage). We had some big trees come down in the neighborhood and I've been hearing that from people all over the office.
