1. I never realized what a beating all those Carribean island take

during hurricane season. It must be a night maredown there this year. It's been a nightmare here in Central Florida I can tell you. I was thinking as I waited to see where Karl was going - snowstorms are starting to look good. Not to many homes have ever been destroyed by snowstorms.

I lived in Florida for many years, but I missed the seasons.
