Time to review the building codes again? I didn't have any fuel for my vehicle for Charley even though I live between two national gasoline chains. As far as wind and rain, Frances hit Tampa Bay the hardest and sufficiently scared everyone in the METRO AREA into Home Depot to buy plywood. Mine's still up but it's getting a little claustrophobic.

Maybe next week I'll find someone to take out all the wood screws... It's getting to be like when people leave their Christmas lights up all year. Some folks have both.

Except for low lying surges in St. Pete, Ivan barely caused any rain or water here.
