Believe me, at this point it sounds tempting.

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.

I'm really getting sick of this crap.


Come to Western NC. We don't get hurricanes, here.... Oh wait. I almost
forgot about that storm named Hugo!.. g

We are getting the **** kicked out of us today, with torrential rains,
flooding, nonstop lightening (during the cells) and tornadoes. I was less
than 10 miles from a touchdown, today.

while the sun still shines. The plane probably needs to be moved somewhere
out of the line of fire also. We're doing the hurricane dance down here
along the Redneck Riviera. Hate to send it to you Texas, but we really
don't want it here.....sorta like "Not in my backyard".



Yeah, goddamit, here we go AGAIN!

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

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.

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

Oops. I should have known that would start something.

I'm such a troll.

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. But after flying
in FL, I can honestly say that flying out here is no more uncomfortable than
mid 90s and super high humidity.
