Well this all just sucks and I hope you are wrong. I was feeling so good that our house in Satellite Beach near Melbourne survived with just a few missing shingles, and here we go again. Many of our neighbors are still trying to get their houses fixed.

I'm a complete novice at this-is Jeanne a much smaller storm than Frances? Can we expect hurricane-force winds for a shorter period of time, and not as far out from the eyewall?

Thanks to all for providing a great place to get some insight and a bit of humor when needed.
