Glad to hear everyone made it out okay in your family!!! These idiots here
just really tick me off. No wonder most of the US thinks we're a bunch of
idiot hicks down here, they can't find anybody but morons to interview
apparently so all most people see are a bunch of dodos whining that they
didn't get enough storm action. Sheesh.
I'm with you, the hurricane reinforcements they've put into the new building
codes since Andrew have definitely saved a lot of peoples you-know-whats.
Those of you that lived through it appreciate that fact, those that didn't
or have no brains complain about the added cost. Betcha it would cost them
a whole lot more to start from scratch!
