Lucky Floridians can buy tax free hurricane supplies this week.

Next week Hurricane season season starts, and it looks to be a very
active season again, with the most storms on the right coast.

The most endangered city after New Orleans is New York. If they get a
cat5 it will make New Orleans look like a cake walk.

The perdictions say 17 named storms and 5 major hurricanes.

Also heard that NOAA is going to define a new class of super hurricanes
(cat.6)

Are you ready?
What have you done to get ready?

Timed how fast I can run up the steps to the 3rd floor balcony....and
we're leaving for most of it back to Michigan...and the boat will be on
the hard...

Did you ever meet Doug and Micky, the owners of Touch of Gray? It was the
40' Endeavor CC that was slipped at Whitehall Landing. They sold out and
sailed her down to Florida for retirement, where they put her up on the hard
while they took a sabbatical in Alaska. While there they were watching a
news clip of one of the hurricanes in FL on the tube, and there, before
their eyes, was Touch of Gray, sunken, all but her stern, nose down in the
bay. The surge apparently took her off the jackstands and beat her to
death.

I wasn't trying to frighten you, but thought you'd find that of
significance.
