If you don’t live in Allentown, you might be wondering exactly when Tropical Storm Hanna is supposed to arrived.

Despite the hyperventilating by the forecasters, we somehow managed to survive Saturday. It rained. There wasn’t much in the way of wind, at least where I was.

They say a tornado did touch down in one Allentown area, including damage to the local high school. Luckily there were no reports of injuries.

I for one was fascinated by the explanation of one local forecaster as to why there was no warning on that tornado that spun off from Hanna. If I heard him correctly, what he was trying to say was that the much-hyped radar system they use does not actually pick up that kind of storm.

Oh, it does offer blotches of red and orange on the screen, but it can’t actually see those kinds of winds forming. Swell.

Never fear. Hurricane Ike is rumbling across Cuba as we speak.

No doubt we’ll be hearing all about it ad nauseum most of the week.
