The eye of the tiger
Thank god for insurance. The last hurricane season after an El Niño was brutal. I always find it quite amusing that our wedding anniversary signals the start of the Atlantic season each year. Coincidence?



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...

Oh yay. At least I don't live in a flood zone anymore. We've only had to evacuate once, and that was back during Elena. (I saw "we" but "we" weren't even here - we were on a family vacation. My sister had the fun of taping up the sliding glass door, etc and sleeping in a church until the storm passed.)

I clicked on the link and saw "Fort Collins, CO" and wondered if they got hurricanes there. :p Yeah, I've been teaching Dania how to skin her site all day. I'm a little cross eyed. ;)

Well, had I known it was your anniversary, I would have been prepared! I live in middle Tennessee and I swear we had a freakin' hurricane Friday night!

Happy Anniversary! Many happy returns of the day, Todd and Robyn.

I have to laugh when the weather people predict such things. What other job can you be wrong 75% of the time and still be considered good at it?

It's not our anniversary yet -- it, and the start of hurricane season, fall on 6/1 every year. But thank you! :-)

I pay no attention to hurricane forecasting any more. Every time they predict a really brutal season, everyone down here in south Louisiana gets all in a tizzy about it, and it's never very bad. I suppose it's much the same there in Florida.

As natural disasters go, hurricanes are your best bet, because you get lots of advance warning and you can split town. I could never live in California- no one sees an earthquake coming, and that whole dying beneath a section of collapsed freeway thing just doesn't appeal to me much.

The experts say that when "the big one" (hurricane, that is) hit the Louisiana coast, New Orleans will go under water and not come back up, because it's already below sea level. (That's why they bury their dead in above-ground cement casks) It'll be tragic, but I try to see the good in everything: my house just north of there will be beach front property! I should easily double my investment.
