Our First Hurricane -- dead on track for our house. . . and Tampa General Hospital.

It's not looking to good for us here in Tampa -- we're projected to be slammed by the eye of the to-be Hurricane Fay. I'm on at the hospital all the night that it's expected to hit, responsible for over 100 patients while "on call" (AKA: frantically running around the hospital taking care of anything that happens to any of the pt's) -- it's not going to be a very fun night if the place turns into a disaster area --- which is expected and the state has already launched everything as a national disaster zone.
Since I'm also an ER doc, we have the responsibility of trying to carry the load of any disasters and all of the messes that may occur -- so I may be at the hospital for several days. My poor wife, alone with the kids -- that's my real concern. She'll be fine, I hope, but it will sure be a bugger if the power goes out and the house ends up at 100 degrees with 3 kids. Wish us the best. Gracias!

Wow, you really do have bad luck! Now we have a blog that we can both vent in after a day of crazy ER work.
