Nashville's Tropical Storm

For the first time ever, the weather service issued a Tropical Storm Warning for middle-Tennessee (Nashville). Although Katrina was definitely not at the strength it had when it pummelled Louisiana and Mississippi when it arrived in Nashville, people panicked and used it as an excuse to not show up at work.

I am continually amazed at how our inability to predict the future keeps us from experiencing our lives in the present. People buy the hype of whay MIGHT happen the next day, and begin living that out to the point where they aren't even living when reality actually hits them that next day. Guess what, it only rained, and traffic was a bit slow. We have many days worse than this in Tennessee throughout the year.

Memphis has 70,000 people without power, Nashville has 3,000. Meridian, Mississippi got hit at a level such as Mobile, AL. Franklin, TN enjoyed a blustery, late summer storm.

Enjoy the day!
