Press Release:

    Isaias has strengthened overnight into a hurricane. Attached is our latest briefing. Our confidence has increased that we will be impacted by Isaias, but our confidence still remains low especially with regards to intensity and timing. For timing, please refer to the earliest onset of tropical storm force winds as a reasonable worse case scenario in terms of your planning. The most likely time for the arrival of tropical storm force winds is still sometime during the day Monday.

    Don't forget we will all be able to chat on our first webinar this morning at 830 AM. We will be doing these daily through Monday at 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM.

    To register for ALL of the webinars, please use this link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6387513154615601168

    We will be using the audio through the computer for these webinars. This has greatly helped us in our ability to keep the audio lines muted and controlled. To ask a question at the end you can either ask the question through the webinar panel or if you have a microphone, you can raise your hand and we will unmute your mic and call on you. If you have any questions you can always call me directly.
