hurricanes?

most people who live in florida are well aware of the ever so lovely hurricane season. for the most part its been a very dead season for years now. But now it seems as though thats changing, Erika has dissolved back into a tropical storm, but there is another storm heading this way. So is anyone worried over this ? I'm not really to thrilled at the idea of possibly reliving 2004/05.

As inexpensive and money saving it would be to live in a trailer, hurricane season is why I live in a house. sweatdrop

I don't remember exactly when but there was a really bad tropical storm a few years back and me living in a trailer at the time was the only reason my entire place wasn't flooded.

Hurricane season has never really bothered me much. Only ever had to evacuate my area once.

I'm going to age myself here and say that I was three when Andrew hit in 1992 (and I actually still remember events during the storm too). Since then, hurricanes have always been nothing more than an annoyance that happens every so often, at least in terms of preparation for a storm that never comes in the end. When one does hit, I love it. Yes, I do get scared because I know what can happen, but a hurricane is one of the few times you can play a board/card game by candlelight and not have your family roll their eyes at you.

The major downside about hurricanes is that my neighborhood can, and often will, go weeks without power once it passes. I spent two months living in a two bedroom/one bathroom condo with five people between Katrina and Wilma both.
