I agree with Margie that this has been a fascinating season. Little did I know when this season started we would be hit by a major hurricane this
year. Our area was overdue for one. I have lived on the Gulf Coast all of my life and have followed the storms for a good portion of that time.
I have always found them fascinating. Getting hit by a major hurricane was no fun, however. We evacuated and were gone ten days.
We got our electricity back a lot sooner than many. But Rita was devastating for Southeast Texas with extensive damage.
I was so excited when we got our fence back up. We still don't have the roof fixed yet. Lots of people aren't able to live in their homes. But
hurricanes are something one has to deal with at one time or another if they live on the Gulf Coast. Anyway,
there have been so many records set this season and it has been interesting. I really appreciate this site because I have learned so much from
it. I will continue to follow the storms. Thanks to everyone on this site for their input.
