Your stories are very interesting. I had never heard of Hurrican Elena until I moved to FL. I have only been here about a year. I don't know if I was even born when Elena hit (I was born August 31, 1985). I am quite interested in your take on Hurricane Ivan. Many people are afraid b/c of the damage that has already occured and the extreme winds. If Ivan hits, it will be the first hurricane I will have been in (that I can remember). Being from South-Eastern Virginia I am used to only getting the outskirts of hurricanes. I would definitely be interested in what you guys think about Ivan. Thanx
