RkyMtnHigh 0 #4 May 17, 2005 I'm not skeered...I have my air mattress to ride it out ..seriously, over the weekend there was a lot of talk about how our weather lately has been unusual for this time of year and how that correlates to our upcoming hurricane season. Interesting though that the real estate market hasn't seemed to suffer a bit after the hurricanes from last year nor the forecast for this season, especially down here in South Florida. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me, Kris. You don't even have to be in the state when it hits for a hurricane to fuck your life up royally. If ya gotta be in Florida after a hurricane I highly recommend having plenty of alcohol in your emergency supplies.

When I got back to my house (3 days after IVAN) I was stunned! My house was considered "minimal damage" but the total insurance claim was jus under $100,000! My parent’s house had to be gutted and rebuilt. They just moved out of my home and back into theirs last month. Several of my neighbors have to start again from the ground up, on pilings this time at least 16 feet above ground. I hope this year we fair much better, I can't take another IVAN!
