This hurricane just dumped a ton of rain on Florida but it
hit Louisiana, Mississippi, & Alabama. Entire towns were
under water. 100 dead & still counting. First estimate
is the cost will be 27 billion in damage. Believe me the
surfers in Florida all drowned when Andrew hit. These
are the real hurricanes that makes Florida so dangerous.
If those Floridians think there hurricanes are fun then they
are not talking about the real ones they get. Besides it's the
deep south. Tourists don't get to see the real thing. Believe
me it isn't all beaches & Disney World. <g> Remember
Sandra these southerners are nuts & marry their sisters. :)
It's easy to be calm when you're in a coma. :-)
