CHICAGO - The Home Depot Inc. is stationing hundreds of trucks loaded with generators, tarps, lumber and other emergency material along the Eastern seaboard, preparing for a one-two punch as Tropical Storm Hanna and Hurricane Ike head toward the U.S. coastline.

The Atlanta-based home improvement retailer said Friday that business in stores was brisk as far north as Washington D.C. and New York ahead of Hanna's estimated weekend landfall somewhere along coast of North or South Carolina.
But Ike--a Category 4 monster threatening Florida--is also looming in the Atlantic.
The company had already staged 500 tractor trailers loaded with material in anticipation of Ike's strike. That's on top of the "couple hundred" trucks already staged within several hours drive of the coastline for Hanna, said spokesman Ron DeFeo.
Home Depot shares fell 4 cents to $28.53 in midday trading Friday.
