for those of you who live in the northeast and are hurrying around to get ready for whatever hurricane sandy might bring you, just imagine how you might feel were such a thing happening to you four or five times each year in the summer and fall. almost always the hurricane misses you, and all that exhausting work and worry seems to have been such a waste of time. if it hits you, it is really a big mess and likely a pretty good financial loss too. i used to live for several years directly on the water in palm beach county, and i thought i must have been mental to have moved to florida. i am so happy and satisfied to be back in texas and a long way from the water (that could rise up and flood my house). the most i have to do now, when a hurricane looks like it will come inland (toward me) in texas, is to make sure some of the big tree limbs are chainsawed down -- if they look too close to a house or building nearby.
