Yea this one shouldn't be that bad. We had alot worse last year. I live about 300 miles inland but we still get some pretty rough stuff up here. Ernesto is heading east of us, so we might get a little rain off of it and thats it.

Florida rebuilding after a hurricane is about like up north in the winter. They get winter storms from hell, its tears shit up, yet they rebuild. It would be retarded to keep an entire state vacant because of the hurricanes. Any state could be hit by a hurricane/tornado/blizzard/possible earth quake, yet people are always going to rebuild.

 

that, and the weather is sooo nice

 

Lived up here in NEPA for 15 years and no snow storm has caused me to need to "rebuild" anything.

Sure we might get a day off here and there and have to shovel out, but it doesn't cripple us or make us homeless.

Hell even the power/phone rarely goes out durring a storm.

 

hmmmmm...... well it DOES happen in some places. Sounds like you have been lucky because i remember you guys having a pretty rough winter last year right? Plus i think it was flooding up there a few months back too. Sounds like you were just lucky Shit happens and people want to live in certain places, they will pay to rebuild. Florida is full of old retired people that have nothing better to do with their money than spend it on rebuilding their house every year.

 

Yes there was some bad flooding a few months back, but this is such a hilly area... very few people were affected. People near the river were hit hardest. Most other people just got soggy yards, nothing much.

But, yea people live where they wanna live.

Personally, I think New Orleans needs to be bulldozed, filled in, and raised 10feet above sea level. Only then should people be allowed to move back in. IMO, but noone ever listens to me.

 

Im from FL, im in NC now. I'm done with the hurricane mess.

 

Dude even up here i have never heard of a building collapsing cause of snow. a couple of trees, and 1 time a big ice storm and the power grid went out for a week or so. but that buildings were wrecked.... never heard of it.

 

Remember '98?

Most people lost power for 5 - 7 days, some for almost 3 weeks. People froze to death in their homes. All the power lines and towers went down. All the damage from the tree limbs breaking from the sheer weight of the ice.

There was damage dood.

 

yeah but the damage done was no where near the damage Florida gets every year. Alot of people died cuase they were idiots, BBQing indors is obviously not a good idea. And i dont remember seeing hundreds of houses being destroyed beyong repair by the ice.

Plus i was in Sherbooke, we didnt lose any power

 

God Bless SoCal.

No snow, no rain, no storms.

I'm going to wash my car at midnight tonight just cause it'll be so nice out.
