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? Joe |

Out here, the best way to get ready is to stick your finger in a dike. Of
course, you may get slapped. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Joe" wrote in message oups.com... Lucky Floridians can buy tax free hurricane supplies this week.

Katy asks:
So when the earthquake comes and the volcano spews on you what do you do then? Actually, several years back, one of those psychics said that Rainier was gonna blow and destroy Tacoma plus global warming would raise the sea level by 50 feet or more and it'd get tropical here. A friend who believed that guy quit his job at Microsoft, giving up a lot of stock options (which were actually worth something back then), and moved to Arizona. I said I didn't see a downside to it! Urban reneweal (Tacoma sucks! It'd be wonderful to have it destroyed in one fell swoop.) and since I live about a mile from the shore and about 75 feet above sea level, I'd probably wind up with tropical waterfront property. Again, as far as I was concerned, there was no downside. Of course, he was gasp! wrong and it never happened. My friend actaully moved back to Seattle *before* the destruction due date because he hated living in Arizona so much that he said he'd rather die here than live there. He got a new job at Microsoft but had to start from scratch on his new stock options. Idiot. Frank - still waiting |

Not long after that I moved to Seattle and there were no world-class hurricane hits to the area after that until I decided to go back to New Orleans to buy a boat last year. Ack! Except I'm kinda like Typhoid Mary. We came through just fine, even the boat was essentially unscathed; it's our surroundings that get trashed. Consider New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, not to mention South Florida, where we apparently attracted Wilma. |

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. Max |
