Anyhow, I know tropical storms and hurricanes come with the territory, but
EVERY FREAKIN' YEAR? It just ain't right. The four named storms so far this
year are the most *ever* this early in the season. And you saw what happened
last year. Something's screwy, I tell ya'. It's enough to make me sell the
business and move.

Tropical storms and hurricanes have always formed in the Atlantic and
created havoc in the Caribbean and southeast since before Europeans
explored the area. And they occur every season (June through
November). Some of them even travel up the coast and then dodge in at
full strength. This happened back in the mid 30's and the photo's of
whole sections of forests flattened in New England are still amazing
to see. What's different now is that more are forming than in recent
history, and more of the storms build into catagories 3, 4 and even 5.

And the news media can give you 24 hours of coverage, with 15 reporters
on the scene giving you blow by blow descriptions.

Come on out to Phoenix, came out from FL last october, haven't seen a
hurricane yet (after having evacuated from landfall sights for Frances
and Jeane, and having the remnants of Ivan spin across my place at
midnight scaring the **** out of me as my apartment literally shook),
however the cave creek fire has given us a bit of smoke from time to
time. Only real downside is that there are 2 seasons... Summer, and
Hell.

No thanks; I've lived in Chandler. 115 in the shade is just too g-d
hot. Winter's nice, though.

You can come to PA and not have to worry (much anyway) about
hurricanes. However, we do have these little events called blizzards
and ice storms...

And you have the added attraction of two good pro football teams.

mentally adding PA to the list


or come a bit farther to the northeast (where the pro football team
beat both of the PA teams). :-)


You mean to Taxachusetts? :-)

I'm making plans to fly the airplane out on Saturday morning. Probably fly
to New Orleans and drive a rent car back. Then spend two or three days (at
least) schlepping gas to the generator and cleaning debris from the yard, if
we're lucky.

New Orleans is currently voluntarily being evacuated. Had some flooding
from Cindy in the French Quarter area already...

Your welcome over here at 4R7... 30kw NG generator, swimming pool, 80
quart deep fryer/boiler and a BBQ pit. Fix'n to pick the white concord
grapes tomorrow...

Thanks, but too far to drive home & back.
