Hard-Hearted Hannah

Remember the "vamp of Savannah, GA"? It was said she'd "pour water on a drowning man". This tune from 1924 was performed  by Paul Whiteman's Orchestra (I believe after the legendary Bix Beiderbecke left the band), Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Bobby Darin and others. 

Well, Hannah's namesake hurricane (minus the last h) is bearing down on the southeastern US coast. Looks like she will hit landfall a little north and east of Savannah. But rain and wind will be inundating the coastal regions. Predicting these storms is like shooting craps. You can play the odds, but there's always a chance for box-cars or snake-eyes. So batten down the hatches and stock up on the necessities. Why is it water and batteries for hurricanes, but milk and toilet paper for snowstorms? - as ever BB

"You don't like it, do you Rocco, the storm? Show it your gun, why don't you? If it doesn't stop, shoot it." - Humphrey Bogart to Edward G. Robinson in the film "Key Largo"
