Hurricane Season

The storms are brewing already and we are just in the beginning of hurricane season. Great, just great. Hurricane season is the only downfall of living in Florida. I'm sure you all remember last hurricane season, the one I spent anxious and pregnant and the one that nearly every storm that formed came after Florida. Yeah, not fun.

Thankfully, the part of Florida I'm in (north) has not been directly hit in years and years. I'm afraid our luck with that is running out. We'll see. We still saw very bad effects of every hurricane and tropical storm that came ashore on Florida's coasts last year. It's not fun, it gets downright scary. Just ask the hubby. He lived through Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The storm that wiped out his hometown of Homestead, FL.

His stories terrify the crap out of me. Really - they are awful. Ones of hiding in the closets and half of the roof being blown off, ones of losing a classmate, ones of a horse running around with a 2x4 stuck through it - you get the picture. SCARY.

Needless to say if we're in direct line of a hit, we don't stick around. He won't do it again.

Its likely we'll see effects of Hurricane Dennis that is off the coast of Jamaica at the moment.

Welcome to Florida!
