Lots of people claim they wouldn't want to make Florida their retirement home because of our hurricanes.
They are awful...and I've lived through a couple...and it wasn't pleasant. Actually scary to say the least, especially when you've lost your power for 8 days...and the nights are sooooo very dark.
There's a song I used to sing to myself during these periods...."Hello Darkness My Old Friend--I've Come to Be With You Again".
Anyway, High Point, my development discovered the way to prevent the horrors of hurricanes....they bought a generator....and I pass this everyday on my way to our pool, and it's the best un-used thing we own.
The batteries are patiently waiting...my propane grill is properly full...my hurricane lamps fit nicely on my end table....and the battery fan is hidden safely away in a closet.
So....I'll use my cans of tuna and my salmon..spread my peanut butter on some of the bread that I've frozen away...for when it was needed.
