I'm just kidding, of course. I know what it's like to be without power long-term -- it was out nearly 3 weeks here after Hurricane Alicia in 83. If we'd have had a place to go, even Florida, we surely would have.

Also, keep an eye on that disturbance currently in the Bahamas...

Not trying to escape hurricanes in Florida...just the only place where I knew I could go (my daughter's house) and have some peace, electricity, computer access (even dial-up!), and get lots of hugs from my granddaughter Rhiannon. The minute I'm with her, I'm in heaven. She touches me and my heart melts, just like her mother did when she was that age (2). I'll definitely keep a watchful eye out, on both the gulf and atlantic sides for those pesky little hell traps. I'm still having trouble with FEMA, Red Cross was a breeze her in Florida...and my insurance company is just sh*%. I should've jumped on the class action lawsuit bandwagon against Farmers years ago when I got screwed...but, ya know me....well, it's still not too late, so they'd better not give me crap. (Sorry if I offended anyone....there may be Farmer's people here)
