We are having another 500 year flood in out area, or is a 1000 year flood this time? We have had 4 since 1993. I feel sorry for people who lose everything, but some people are going to lose everything again for the #4 time in 20 years. That is just plain silly. [:p]

Almost 42" of rain here in May. Glad it is over. I saw the Tribune front page for today about Hurricanes. I probably would have not posted had I read that first. I think we will have a masonary house built in Hawaii. I am really afraid of big winds, Tornados or Hurricanes. I lived through a "Bow" wind in 1998 near Iowa City, Over 120 MPH for almost an hour. A Hurricane in Puna would be much worse I would imagine since a bow wind is a straight line wind. A Tornado or Hurricane is kind of like a wind blender. [:0]

Thanks for responding, I am one good cancer scan away from a ticket to Hilo or Kona for a month of R&R. And speaking of R&R, that is how I got to Hawaii for the first time in 1970. Probably should have went there when I got out of the Army as I fell so much in love with it. []


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.
