No.... worry about the Florida Ohana. Only the three of you left. The rest of the Florida Ohana are still here.

My Boss has been trapped in Florida since last week due to Katrina & her Waves, they had just getten back to the Keys from the Bahamas just before the storm hit the coast.
Looks like Nawlins missed the worst of it, there was plenty of structural damage (with so many old wood houses without the hurricane upgrades required in Fla. it was bound to happen), but only one levee was breached with 3 to 8 foot storm surge coming into the city. The levee breach was in the 9th Ward, so if anyone's brave enough could they go check on Fats Domino?

Hope everyone is safe and well.
With the Hurricanes of the last few years, are developers starting to build houses that can stand up to these conditions more?
I lived on the West Coast of Ireland for about 7 years and experienced some very strong winds (the highest was a 138mph gust!), so all the houses were built to take the weather, mostly single storey with small windows. They may not be that attractive but they don't seem to blow down and you can quite easily sit the big storms out.

Not again...
The great state of Texas has been amazingly generous towards the homeless hurricane victims of Louisiana and Mississippi...
And here's a big THANK YOU! from Mother Nature...
*sigh*
If I were one of the refugees in Houston right now I'd be starting to feel like the damn things were chasing me.
