Category 3-4 hurricane, visqueen and plywood would be great
investments right now. Call a reaql estate agent in Tampa and see if
you can get any good deals.

Seriously, After Andrew, Florida passed anti-profiteering laws where
you cannot sell building materials for much greater than market value
after a disaster and I think this is BS. After Andrew, the first ppl
to get building materials there were profiteers, without them, people
would have to wazit for days for a sheet of plywood and their homes
woulda been further damaged by rain. When you got water pourin in the
roof, a $100 sheet of ply seems cheap.
