Had Ivan missed this area last year, the effects of Dennis would probably have been much worse.

Exactly... for example, if a storm of the same exact intensity as Charley were to hit here, I think the damage would be far less. For one, everything weak or unable to withstand extreme winds is already leveled. Secondly, what was repaired was done so to more rigorous code, and lastly, people are going to prepare for the storm much more effectively.

Ill say this again.. HURRICANECITY Just mentioned it.. When this thing hit, it was not a CAT 3 OR 4.

What do you mean?

EDIT: heh... exactly, Keith.
