Did you suffer any significant damage to your home? I would think after
4 hurricanes you're about ready to move to someplace safe like Michigan?
8-)) Lots of nice lakes for boating and fishing here.

Actually, I did take damage this time. How's this for irony,,,I lost a
Hurricane Shutter. I put them down and up twice in the past three weeks.
This one wasn't supposed to come to the bay area, so by the time it did,
it was too late to go outside and try to put them down...again. Thing
was about 5 X 5 and weighed close to 30 pounds, held to the house by
eight anchor bolts. It was ripped off like it was contructed of
cardboard. I lost a gutter downspout, the neighbor took roof damage, and
lots of homes near the beaches, both bay and Gulf sustained damage.
I have good friends in Michigan, one owns a farm in Parma and has been
telling me about his monster deer for years and trying to get me to come
up for all the deer meat I want. My other friend is on the outskirts of
Grand Rapids and has been trying to get us to visit since he and his
wife moved there from here.
I remember the snow from the north, experiencing the Loma Prieta (sp?)
(the earthquakes) from the west, and of course, the hurricanes in the
south. My order of preference hasn't changed. I'll take the hurricanes
(plenty of warning vs. earthquakes) first, earthquakes second, and Jack
Frost last. Only thing I want snow for is hunting/trapping season and
Christmas morning. The sun disappears above Florida in the northern
states for the majority of the winter.....I'm a sun junkie,,I need it
almost every day. The sun on your face right when its coming up over the
horizon out on the clear blue water, all alone, with no sound except the
gulls is practically Heaven on earth.
