I'm from South Florida! And it SUCKS! Hurricanes are horrible, absolutly horrible. The most recent one was Hurricane Wilma and it almost destroyed my house! But it got rid of my entire patio and my neighbors house was demolished. It was a major hurricane to, a high category 3, (Hurricane Katrina was a 4 when it hit!) There's also on avarage 50 tornados (I think it was 50, if not more) during a hurricane. My power was knocked out for like a week! No cooking, TV, computer, running water (yes, that was gone too), it was tough.
The reason I'm moving next month!
