I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I would take all of our 2004 hurricanes again if they kept another Galveston, Camille or Andrew from landing!!
Talk about horror! I would never wish one of these monsters on someone else just because we had a rough year last year. Granted, the west coast and panhandle had it worse than we did in Central Fla, but still nothing like those buzz saws!
And I'm from Texas, too!

On a very local scale... charley is up there. What seperates him, aside from damage of a somewhat lesser degree, is that we got help the next day... instead of the next month like we did with Andrew.
