I bet just getting a job at the post office would be super hard.
The storm looks like it's in pretty sad shape and getting torn up by Cuba.

Never want to see that again  |
I too worked Andrew, then much later added Charlie, Francis, Jean and eventually Wilma. I'm just a glutton for punishment I guess. All are a stark reminder that we're just visitors here and nature will prevail. Be prepared and be aware

I don't think many people can really appreciate the power of a hurricane until they are actually IN one. After all, it's just wind and water, right?
I learned enough from going through Charlie in Daytona as a category 1 to realize I don't want to be anywhere NEAR a category three or above.

Hopefully I'll never find out first hand. Of course, abandoning the buildings filled with animals is going to be a bitter pill to have to swallow if that happens here.

I went through Andrew. Got two extra weeks off of school for that one. Would anyone like to see the pix and know what a REAL hurricane can do?
