Please tell my wife that 110 MPH is boring. If it’s 75 she wants to evacuate because she hates seeing and hearing the damage done to her extensive collection or rare landscape plants and because it’s a pain to try to let the dogs to out to use the bathroom. sigh
It was exciting at first, then the power went out. In Florida, in the summer. Hot muggy and dark. Listening to the wind howl, debating whether my little generator would be feasible while its raining and blowing.
I don’t live on the beach because I didn’t want to worry about it. So I’m about 2 miles inland. Anything under a cat 4 is a stay at home event. Cat 4s and 5s would be exciting.
Quite a few hurricanes have hit Florida over the last 13 years since we moved here. Have had some cat 5’s aimed at us but they turned. Had several cat 3’s aimed elsewhere which then hit us.
2004 was especially exciting when 4 storms hit us in under 2 months. Got a great deal on a car after they were over though, the car dealers were desperate.
