T.S. Hanna now headed up Savannah River - Savannah, Augusta GA

Current track points Hanna directly up the Savannah River. Important infrastructure along this path is:

Savannah Georgia
Hunter Army Airfield
Kings Bay Naval Station
Augusta Georgia
Fort Gordon Georgia (home of Army Signal Corps and major Army hospital)
Medical College of Georgia and hospital complex
Central Savannah River Area metro (about 1 million)
Savannah River Plant Nuclear Site
Hydro-electric dam at Thurmond Lake

Nearby towns/cities include:

Augusta GA
Aiken SC
Barnwell SC
Columbia SC
Waynesboro GA
Waycross GA
Statesboro GA

I went to high school near Augusta GA and my parents still live there.

They are NOT ready for a hurricane there.

I hope it actually shifts back Southward to Florida where we are at least somewhat prepared for these things.

1. Fortunately it appears the NHC doesn't predict this to become a hurricane. However,
their tracking projections have been quite erratic with this storm.

2. I suspect it will still find time to wobble southward towards Florida.
We'll see.

It also has time to become a Cat I hurricane as well though.
