I gather intel from many sources (including some of these posts) as I'm a Floridian and literally, have almost had my fill of hurricanes in my state. My entire family lives in various cities within my state and if a 'cane doesn't affect me directly, it almost always goes near another family member's town.
Last year was the real kicker with Frances and Jeanne's eyes going directly over where I live on the ocean. We suffered massive devastation and to this day, I am still helping clean and rebuild my community. I quit my long-time profession after Jeanne enabling me to hop out in to the streets and attempt to put our homes back together.
I have never known a more rewarding phase in my life.
I fully am aware that several weather hobbyists thoroughly enjoy prediciting what course Mother Nature will take as well as interacting with other hobbyists. In some posts I am observing almost an obsession with "needing to know."
What happens...happens.
I am grateful for all your posts yet more vitally, the opportunity to assist my community...each and every aftermath...lol.
