Umm RYd.. I used to go right to where they were for good surfing, I will say from experience not to do that again.. It was fun at the time, but now that I am older.. Damn I was f'n dumb!
But you know as I know most of Fl folk don't leave anymore, just plain over it.
and I still think my moutain is better

I will have to admit that we have been pretty fortunate in Texas. Florida has really had a bout with it. Key West seems to be the luckiest place in Florida. They haven't really been hit, have they?

Not in a long long time, when Andrew came through I was at "Naval Air Base, Key West" living in Marathon. Andrew was to be a direct hit and everyone evac to Homestead and MIA. It missed the keys and hit Homestead and MIA. Lucky for me I was on leave at that time and was in DC. But a few weeks later the keys (Marathon) got hit by a Noreaster that did more damage than Andrew did. Strange how Mother nature does her thing. As strange as this may sound, I like Hurricanes better than most other natural storms, at least we have a heads-up that they are coming unlike a earthquake, and its with concern that with the notice that a Hurricane is coming most of the ppl will not leave.

Just imagine what those people in the Tornado Alley feel while waking up in the middle of the night with no warning whatsoever.. I'm with you. At least you can somewhat predict a hurricane path once it gets a few hundred miles from landfall.

welcome

[Storm Chaser]

Thank ya much, Neo. Cheers to you as well. And thanks to everyone that posted and welcomed me today. It was a great first day on the board. Just completed installing my big CB. Used a LowBoy mount attached to the dashboard (no drill) above the vents and a side mount antenna above the GM logo (drilled) through a discreet utility hole in the firewall (drilled). Looks pretty kewl and will attach a pic when I get the wiring completed and SWR checked. One more radio to go but have done enough for the night. Going to watch the Spurs play.
