>>I ran into people yesterday who did not know, and a few who did not care that a hurricane was on the way. In their own state. Heading toward them. I'm still not sure how some people make it through life.<<

Boy, you said a mouthful! I work for a financial institution in Brevard county, and a woman told one of my co-workers on Friday "Since you all are closing early because of a rainstorm, I wanted to know if you would be open tomorrow. And are you going to close again if it rains on Monday?" When my co-worker told her, "Ma'am, were you aware that this is a category 4 hurricane?" she replied "Oh no it's not! It's only going to be a 2!" She was insistent on maintaining her opinion, even when presented with the facts!

Now that I think about it, maybe she is married to OrlandoWaiting! Hmm... there have been no recent postings from OrlandoWaiting - perhaps he lost power from a storm that he was emphatic was "not a biggie" and would cause no "widespread damage"?

On a completely unrelated note, I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful site! I wish I had found it before Friday, but I'm glad I found it in time to help me keep track of Earl and future storms.
