Oink,
"I ***HATE*** hurricanes and have had enough of them. Personally I think one per lifetime is sufficient as I'm sure most of you will currently agree."
Whether this was a hurricane or a strong tropical storm (there's only a 1-mph difference between the two), I couldn't agree more. In a strange way I'm glad I have experienced this, because now I really understand what people have to go through with these storms, but now I hope never to have to experience another.
I guess one good thing now is that I and many others will be a little more prepared for the next one, at least I hope that happens. Personally, I had supplies to last several days alone, but have had a reality check on what it's like to be without power, running water or communications. And some are still in that situation. Maybe this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
