Kev,

Appreciate your concern. I'm in Miami, and the rain has been pretty steady since last night. This is just a tropical storm at this point, so the winds are not a problem. We're on the northeast side of Arlene, which has the heaviest rainbands, and it looks like the entire state of Florida is going to get what we're getting now, so look out Jim! At least we won't have to worry about watering for a couple of days. Not sure I agree with you about earthquakes vs hurricanes though! At least we get "reasonable" warnings.

I've climbed 2 active volcanoes, lived on the side of one under canvas for a month and experienced a 6.7 on the Richter scale. I'd still rather risk an eruption than Floridas weather;-)

Good luck with the tropical storms and cyclones. I hope you have a method of rapid tie down devised!

Cheers

Well, it has started. Tropical Storm Arlene -- a very minor storm
(knock on wood) -- is heading north into the Gulf of Mexico, enroute
(it appears) to Pensacola, FL. We're only 9 days into the season,
which lasts through November.

Bummer.
