Hope you're allright !

So I guess July / August ain't perfect to visit South Florida ? I had plans of visiting next year with my wife in July. What's your opinion ?

Come on over, as far as Tropical Storms and Hurricanes I left my CRYSTAL BALLS in the H-3 this morning....you just never know...Fay was/is just a lot of rain, Andrew (1992) was like WWII all over again...

One thing to remember is July / August can be 90-95 degree f and and its not uncommon to be 90% humidity or higher...

Theres lots to due...A must is an AirBoat ride in the Everglades (there is nothing in the world like it)..We have a World Class Zoo with an A/C Monorail (a must)...South Beach if you like BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE and CROWDS, some say the best clubs and night life in the U.S.... The Keys are just minutes away...Some of the greatest Salt Water Fishing in the World...Orlando and Disney are just 4 hours north...The Miami area is a world class Eating Destination, many many superb eating establishments...

OH, By The Way, If You Want...

I have 2 homes for sale...if you buy both I'll throw in a 2006 H-3 LUX with 9000 miles

AND 4 U (since i'm buying 1st, 3rd, 5th & 7th for Ken)

I'll buy the 2nd, 4th, 6th & 8th...

RYD, I did not say it was an enjoyable expierence at all, i ment it is a fascinating one to see what it is. I have friends and family who live up north and they do not actually understand how bad it can get, becuase they just think storm, they dont think side effects like the ones you mentioned, gas lines etc. I simply ment expierience what it truly is. Wilma hit directly my town, that came as a cat 3 135 MPH hurricane windows and all are great. however being without electricity for 9 days, waiting on line for gas, trying to make pasta on the BBQ and the lceanup flooded roads and all was certainly a pain but at the same time a life expierence Im glad I had the oppurtunity to have with no property damage or injuries.

This Fay storm, got me off of school for a day, roads were flooded by me, a lot of rain not to bad wind, but the water was insane most roads were flooded above the curb, way above the curb, I was having a blast driving through them only to watch other people stop and turn back and take pictures of me haha. Hopefully this will grab us out of our drought.

I would say no, becuase its just way to hot bieleve me, and Humid, as far as tropical cyclonse go, they usually dont make landfall in this month, and the ones that do arent the strongest cuase they form mostly in the Carribean. In 2004 we got slammed by two cat 2's in September. where I live, and the next year in October we got owned by a 3. I wouldnt really make Hurricane season a deciding factor on when to come, becuase in 2006 and 2007 none hit florida, so its all luck of the draw. And if there is one, as i tell all my out of town friends a Hurricane is something you really need to expierence in your lifetime (so long as no one get hurts). Unless its a cat 4 or 5 im out of florida, but 1, 2, or 3 is something to see.

You are one sick puppy...no one needs that kind of experience...A Cat 3 can jump to a 4 or 5 faster then you can switch TITS...

I've been in 99% of all hurricanes to hit Miami-Dade Country since 1951 (including ANDREW) and none of them are fun...

Its not fun putting up the shutters, its not fun waiting in the gas lines, its not fun being in line at the supermarket, its not fun taking the shutters down and packing them away, its not fun picking up all the junk that blows into your yard, its not fun going to the dump, its not fun sleeping without A/C when you loose electricity (I have had a generator for only 4 years), its not fun sleeping in a trailer for over a year...

The only advantage of a hurricane over a earthquake or tornado is that you know the hurricane is coming where in the other two you can just put your head up your ass and pray...

Ahem....

You know those tornadoes have a nasty habit of sneaking up on trailer parks and campers when they least expect it.

But I see your point, you know the property may be catastrophically damaged while your away.

I'll take putting 3Hummers head up his @ss and praying any day during a West coast earthquake over the hurricane!

I'm with Hummer3, I love the small hurricanes and tropical storms. I've been through tons and the only part that I hate is being without power. As long as no one gets hurt or has property damage, I think they're awesome. The big ones that are devastating? Not fun at all and I am sad for everyone who loses their home or family member. But we said the small ones.

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

come on dudes and dudets...!

ANDREW was a CAT 3 till at the last minute it changed direction, headed for my ass and became a CAT 5...

The only ones who liked ANDREW were the COCKROACHES who now had an easy access into the house...

hope you all stay dry cause FAY is a wet one...great for lake O and our fresh water supply (yes i know the biscayne aquifier)

its a couple on minutes after 4 PM on tuesday and now we are still getting little squalls out of the west...

DAM RIGHT, for sure, I'll buy the first, third, fifth and seventh round !!!

Have you ever been to the Homestead Track? Its in the BOONIES (a little) and traffic is like really bad...and forget about the drive through line at Checkers, Bk, Mickey D's, etc etc ...I've seen them 30 minutes long, regular sit in's like Ruby Tuesday, Applebee's, Chili's etc the wait can be 90 minutes or more...

If I sell my house by then I may be living in the Redlands, west of Homestead...then we can have HORNSBY's LOL and BBQ Duck...
