All the stuff in the news about Hurricane or Tropical Storm or Whatever Cindy has left me wanting to yell 'Marsha Marsha Marsha!', even though it's the wrong Brady-name. There, I've said it.

More importantly, it's made me realize... this is the first hurricane season in six years when I haven't been hovering in front of a television or news feed of some kind, cursing when I didn't hear a weather report. I'm not responsible for marking anything on a map, or opening a new fund to hold hurricane-related money, or anything like that. I have no chance of winding up in a smelly hotel in Louisiana for three weeks at a stretch, or being asked to drive a huge clumsy truck over a thousand miles, or...

It's so weird to see hurricane season from a civilian's point of view.

The salary is usually so good that a LOT of people buy a house or flat, which they rent out during their project time, and pay off the mortgage with their salary. You don't spend a lot of money in a disaster area, and the tents and latrines are provided... AND, you ALWAYS these days have internet access via mobile phone. Q is cut off for 12 days now, since he'll be evaluating conditions in the worst hit areas, but he HAS been promised that as soon as he sets up his base in the area he will have internet access. Communications are necessary. That's where YOU might come in.
