You would think by now people would build better weather
proof homes, since the bad weather can be counted on.
Well Hurricane Jeanne has come and gone. This
is the fourth
hurricane in
6 weeks and the third that's gone through my area. The DEC and intel
stuff
sitting outside STILL hasn't blown away! Not too much damage this
time, for
the most part everything that could be torn up was destroyed in the
previous storms. However my roof shingles are finally starting to go. The
power companies are getting GOOD at this. This time they had the power
back
on the same day! I think there's going to be lots of houses (or vacant
lots!) for sale in Florida real soon. I went to Home Depot this morning
and it was packed with people buying roofing materials and other repair
items. A lot of them also had "Home for Sale" signs in their carts!
Can ya blame 'em?
