That's the problem, Guen...they call for a 4, and well, we've seen less on landfall.
I don't know why, but this Krazy Kat scares me.
I'm sorry for your situation..Guen :(
I mentioned earlier--this storm is giving me a sick feeling, usually reserved for a big storm headed toward Tampa Bay.
!!....but I chose to live in Florida and have for 30 years....
...they say we're in the hurricane cycle..and should expect this kind of thing for the next few years...
...I had never experienced it before, but am seasoned now.----
I qualify that with we did ride out a category 1 called David when my son was a baby.---We spent the night bailing water from the living room that came through our bay windows---and the remainder of the night huddled in a hallway due to tornadoes..
I love Florida....the heat, bugs, humidity, sun......tropical breezes, mild winters, gorgeous sunsets :))
Our neighborhood sustained very little damage....however, a home across the lake from us is still being repaired and reroofed...(slow contractor, I guess)
...but driving back from Jacksonville (Frances)....and Orlando..(Jeanne)....
...we could see widespread damage, especially in parts of Orlando....and all along I-95 from Jacksonville, south.
My personal Tara rode it out very well.....therefore I tend towards staying put next time.
