Well, living in Florida brings with it the joy of hurricanes. So far Fay has not been much but we are getting some sustained winds of 35-40 miles per hour and a lot of rain. I always wonder, do you batton down the hatches and stay put, or do you get out. It became clear back in 2005 as my family of 6 at the time was huddled in the pantry for about 4 hours worried about the horrific winds that were reeking havoc on my yard and home. when we went into the woods, you could see where an area of live oaks were spun out in a circle about 200-300 feet across….an obvious tornado…hence the freight train sound we heard.

That turned out to be a tropical storm of less than the designated hurricane strength(72 mph) but I can only tell you, that if a class 1 is for sure gonna hit us, me and my family will be gone…

I always worry about what do you take, how do you manage your diabetes, and when will you be able to get back. Preperation always helps make the transition during the storm a whole lot easier. Evacuation with the D….doesn’t sound like too much fun.

Best wishes and Keep going…..Peace,   Bob
