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.

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...

Well I think what we meant was one that STAYS a small storm. No one liked Andrew.

your right, EXCEPT how do you tell which ones will stay small and which ones will get BIGGER...

not from the experts at NOAA or the Hurricane Center !!!
