Everyone is talking about Hurricane Matthew. Not a surprise at all since it's the strongest Atlantic storm in 9 years and it's a killer. Three people have died as a direct result of this storm and right now it's bearing down on Haiti- a place still devastated by the earthquake in 2010.
I should have expected this to happen since there was a backpacking trip planned this weekend to finish the MD section of the Appalachian Trail. If you remember, something similar happened last year when Hurricane Joachim was set to arrive along with a Nor'easter right when we were hiking for the first time. That story is here. You might also remember that I predicted trouble since my cousin and I seem to attract nothing but and you can learn about that here. So, should this Hurricane be headed our way, we will be canceling the trip. Sadly, we probably won't be able to reschedule before the weather changes. Stay safe out there and pray for those in the path of this massive storm.
