Man I for one find this is getting old. One day were pulling the boats out and the next were putting them back. Heck it has gotten to the point of a person not even being able to find C batteries. The stores are just now once again getting the shelves fill with can food.
Anyone know of a good Trout stream in Tenn where a person could take a last second Vacation if a person had to with a family friendly campground?

I hope Ike isn't as dangerous as the media/ weather folks are stating. Seeing how lame Hanna was (for the US), and that Gustave (although certainly no picnic in the park) was not quite what they were predicting, I am beginning to wonder if :
1. Reality TV has taken over and they must hype everything- is Jim Cantori (sp?) on a beach with his weather gear in howling rain yet on the weather channel????
2. Folks are so afraid of underestimating (aka Katrina) that everything now is described as a potential/probable disaster.
Yeah, I may be way off base here (hope I'm not). Either way, I should have been in the weather prognostication business. What other job can you be wrong 80% of the time and still keep your job.
All said, I hope Ike doesn't pan out like the predictions. Prayers will be with the Florida/Gulf coast folks.
OP
The new catch phrase for everything is CRISIS. But realistically, because of the gooberness of some people, if we scare you enough, you might just listen and pay attention to the big storm coming at ya! In a hurricane, anything can happen and that is one of the hardest weather systems to predict.
I rather be prepared and sigh relief if the storm wasn't too bad than being caught unprepared and losing everything.

Tellico in the Blue Ridge / Smoky Mts.
They're all sponsored by Home Depot and Lowes
. Around here in the winter, just a mention of a chance of a flurry and every store in the area is out of bread and milk.
I never figured out why it's bread and milk. I'd have figured snow tires, chains, sleds, etc.Dang, where'd you get a weatherman that accurate? You have to be making that up!...What other job can you be wrong 80% of the time and still keep your job.
