Thank goodness it isn't going to be a hurricane. The state of Florida needs desparately to get by a season or two without one. I'm on the northern gulf coast with nothing but a sliver of barrier island (whittled down after the last two years) between my house and the visible gulf. Insurance is getting to be a serious problem here. We were devastated by Ivan (04) and had direct hits with Arlene (TS) and Dennis in 05. And still our remaining now duneless coastline was raked by Katrina and Rita before the season ended. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but PLEASE stay away from Florida for awhile.
