Maybe I'm not so terrible after all??? I have to admit that I look forward to hurricanes. I would never want anyone to die, and I was really upset when we had to batton down the hatches and evacuate a couple of years ago. I was so afraid of losing our stuff, but actually like the excitement of a storm.

If the storms could stay small, just large enough to cause excitement and have us close our office so we get some time off, and not large enough to cause real damage or loss of life. I sure don't look forward to evacuating again. I was so upset and worried that if a Cat 4 or 5 came through that we would loose our pictures and things. I packed them up in water resistant containers, but could not take everything with us. Next time I've said I will reserve a small U-Haul trailer when the storm is in the gulf just in case. Last time all the trailers were rented, so we took our cars and as much as we could and us and dogs headed west.
