I am watching "Summer Hurricanes" on National Geographic Channel right now. It is going over last summer's hurricanes that hit Florida.

Just before it they ran a special "Hurricane" which followed hurricane Andrew. Funny, it has been 13 years and watching that show brought back every emotion from that night. The utter exhaustion from getting everything ready, the fear, the noise, the wind, the trees falling on the house. And we got off with limited damage.

Boy I never want to go through a night like that again.

After a hurricane passes, people around here look like walking zombies...and, when they finally let go of the anxiety, they crash for a couple days. I've been down all week with conjuctivitis and bronchitis, bad stuff.

The last big direct hit we had here was Alicia.

On the other hand, we've had our share of flooding such as was caused by Allison a few years ago. That one ate my car.
