((Tropical storm Barry made landfall before dawn this morning, bringing
high winds and drenching rains that could cause dangerous flooding.
Meteorologists expected 8 to 10 inches of rain across the Florida
Panhandle and said isolated tornadoes were a possibility. Parts of
Georgia and Alabama were also hit hard as the first hurricane threat of
the season arrived, but not everyone was worried.

The surf was up all along gulf coast beaches as Barry gathered steam
while making way towards land. Residents and business owners boarded up
windows and escaped to higher ground in preparation for the storm. Some
of the vacationers took the weather in stride but most reluctantly
headed for home.
Carolos Martins/Vacationer " I thought it would be safer rather than
try to wait here until Monday morning then ride home on Monday during

Being prepared and getting out early is the advice most officials were

arrived. At least 8 counties in the Florida panhandle issued voluntary
evacuation orders while 6 opened shelters. Many more remain on standby.

You've heard of Code Red, now computer security experts are warning people about Code Red TWO.
It's a new strain of the Code Red worm that infected computers around the world last week.
Code Red TWO leaves a "back door" open on infected computers for anyone who wants to get into the machine.
But experts say it won't affect machines that have already been
protected against the original Code Red worm.
