Everyone points their fingers at Florida. The Texas- Florida Panhandle gets hit often. North / South Carolina get hit a lot too. Long Island got hit by one of the most deadliest hurricanes in History in the 20's. We used to joke down here in Florida that we just make 'em and ship 'em out.

Unfortunatly this last year was a doozie. Sort of a wake up call for all of us. I will be ready by the end of June. Ready for whatever this season brings short of a killer Cat 5 then nothing will be left. But, with the Bahamas due east of use they tend to come apart sightly and weaken.

Fingers crossed.....

As far as house construction. Look to Japan for a lesson. They get hit with typhoons all the time. Talking to some friends there, the safest place is to be home. Their houses are built like bunkers, not pretty at all but safe as hell when a typhoon hits. Thet usually miss a day or so of work then get back to business.

We have a LOT of our power grids above ground here. I marvel at all the advances technology has made ans we use 100+ year old technology to deliver power to homes still.

Someday the power / phone companies will wake up and go underground with everything.

Until then I will have my trusty generators in place and ready to serve.
