RE:"I see that you are from FLA...I lived in Palm Beach Ct during Andrew...we were spared the worst, but you probably saw Homestead after the storm...a major hurricane is no laughing matter." Andrew was the worst I've seen since Donna in 1960. But in 1960 there was 1/10th of the people...and the damage from Andrew was the worst. After Andrew, just about everyone in the Kendall, Cutler Ridge, Florida City area got an upgraded tile roof or a new house...values actually went way up... Major hurricanes never were such a big thing until so many people moved to Florida, near the coast. Now the "panic factor" is as dangerous as the storm. Home Depot is doing a bang up business with plywood and storm panels right now... A lot will be returned next week... Jim
