This is going to strike many funny; however, there will be those suffering loss (and soon) with Florence bearing down on our North Carolinian coast. My hope is that everyone can enjoy this bit of humor understanding fully that the reality is a horse of a much different color. Prayers going up for the safety of all.

LTC Tom Jones When we retired, some of the major reasons to move were hurricanes, tropical storms, and regular flooding. We went through two major hurricanes (Alicia, Ike) losing part of our roof in one, and had a 90 foot pine tree fall on our house with the other one. Hurricanes are bad news.

I grew up in Jacksonville, FL, Sgt (Join to see). We were there for Hurricanes Cleo and Dora in 1964, both of which were devastating storms. We lived two blocks away from the Ortega River, a tributary of the St. Johns River, and one of the storms brought flood waters to within three feet of our front door. There was no power, but we had a portable kerosene stove and my mom cooked everything so it wouldn’t spoil. She did the same for our neighbors. We had one of the few two story homes in the neighborhood, and my father and I moved everything upstairs but the piano!
I’ve been through and I know hurricanes!
