Wilma - aren't you florida people sick of this?
 

Taken from weather.com

"Residents of the southern Florida, including the Keys, should begin thinking about the possibility of a hurricane strike sometime this coming weekend."

To all the Fl people (Ray, AWP etc...), after the last couple of years have you thought "is it really worth it?"

Just wondering

Thats the price of paradise.

Yeah we are gearing up here in Palm Beach County for a major (cat 3+) strike Saturday night into Sunday morning. Should be great surf again.

The wife is on the post hurricane team at the hospital and im on duty Sunday morning. Should be a laugh.

snow is a 4 letter word

I haven't lived here for long, but I would prefer to dodge the odd hurricane, than go back to the bitterly cold winters in Wisconsin & Colorado.

ft myers beach is probably my favourite place I have seen in fla........saratota being another nice place.........I much prefer the gulf coast

Re: Wilma - aren't you florida people sick of this?
 

Hmmm....

Hurricane = 2 or 3 days of inconvenient winds and rain followed by more hot n sunny weather.

Maine Winter = 6 months of inconvenient deep snow drifts.

I think I'll tough this one out.

Cheers. We'll be fine, not too many jobs to clear up as long as there isnt too many numpties go wandering about to see what all the noise is again.

evil it is :D

Re: Wilma - aren't you florida people sick of this?
 

true...but the snow doesn't add up on your insurance...but it would be nice to be able to flitter between the two...

Re: Wilma - aren't you florida people sick of this?
 

Ouch...dont remind me!

Yea hence the fact the population down here doubles in the winter months and everyone speaks with a Noo Joisey type accent.

Hurricanes? What about the tornados and forest fires? Don't you love it all? Big spiders, gators, bears, coyotes, snakes, fire ants but worst of all snow birds the fuc*ing idiots in cars where they can't see over the dash then can't walk when they get out who weave aimlessly across three lanes at 5mph.
