Hurricane Dean, Stay away from my home!

Hurricane Dean is going somewhere? I pray its not hear nor anywhere else where some lives. Everyday we still talk and see what Katrina did to the Gulf Coast. Come tommorow we will know more. As we talk many companies are making plans to shut down the oil platforms in the Gulf. Hurricanes in the Gulf are dangerous because the water has no where to go but inland. The winds are bad enough but a 20'-25' tidal surge causes damage for miles and miles. In real estate when a hurricane enters the gulf insurance companies stop writting polices so if you are buying a home it may be too late come Monday. Its not like we have a lot of choices.

You make your mental preps. Water, gas, food, batteries ect. What if it changes course?

Eric - I so hope you won't get hit.  I am somewhat anxious since Jamaica will be getting a direct hit.  Tonight I spoke with the family there, and they have done all they can to prepare.

Hi Eric,  I'll second that request. They are putting reminders on the freeway signs here to keep our gas tanks full.  Could we all get lucky and it disappear?  Oh well, just a thought.  :)
