This latest hurricane has not brought us any rain yet here in the Charlotte, NC area. We're a long way from the drought situation that threatened to shut down power plants last summer, but realistically we are not that far.

So with some trepidation and concern for others, we're kind of hoping for some of that Hanna rain to move inland. Unfortunately, it looks like this one is going to possibly breeze right past us all together.

Just a quick follow up on this one, our water levels have come up and the reservoirs in the area are finally full! I'm sure there's some people in the local energy industry companies slapping themselves on the back as mother nature helped them to meet their corporate performance management metrics for the month, but I'm just happy we have water again.
