Default Only 3 mo. until Hurricane season

And it been the warmest winter I can ever remember here. We had April
showers this weekend and the May flowers are blooming now.

Forecasters are saying we are going to have as active, if not a more
active season then last year.

Whats going to happen to the 300,000 trailers people are living in on
the coast? Can you imagine that many trailers running for cover all at
once? What a nightmare.

And can we afford to rebuild another major city like Houston,
Galveston, ect.?

Are you ready for another record hurricane season?

You may be right Joe. I would not be surprised if we have
another bad hurricane season.

Things have been warmer than usual here in Connecticut.
February has been as windy as the typical March. So if
we get a lot of rain next month, as we typically get in April,
Spring will be a month early and make this years groundhog
prediction 100% wrong.

Warm weather will be good for me, as I have some
fiberglassing work required to finish installing my new
engine. My goal is to have it installed and ECHO ready
to launch by June 1st. I will be cruising north this season.

Look at the bright side at least on the Mississippi Gulf Coast debris
cleanup will be minimal. There is nothing left to make new debris.

And while the initial trailers might make the trip (the true travel
trailers, the ones bought directly from the dealers by FEMA) the vast
majority of the ones that were made specifically for FEMA will fall
apart in the first ten miles.

I musta seen 1000 trailers heading south on a trip we took to Ohio Nov.
All brand new. All types. Locals were making 1000 a trailer deliverd to
New Orleans. The oil field hot shot drivers were getting rich.

Just think how many will be on the market in two three years!.

Urban renewal is harsh at times. I dread the day a cat 5 hit here.
