Katy, Im serious Ive been thru many hurricanes, been in the eyes of 4.
Alicia being the worst. Id rather be no other place than on redcloud.
While everyone else looses power I have a gen set, communications to
the USCG, weather fax, and a steel fortress to protect me. I have 3
hurricane holes one in Cedar Bayou n of here, One up the Brazos river
west of here and one near the Sabine river East of here. If your
prepared, have the proper equipment and act before the storm, then its
no big deal. Only those who can not excape the wrath of the storm have
to worry, I will stay at my marina unless the winds are over 120 knots.
I enjoy a good storm.

Joe

Katy, Hurricane season is enjoyable if you own the proper boat and
know
how to weather any storm. Its not like you have to worry about
getting
flooded. It may be a bad time for lubbers but a nice warm place to
live
is worth the risk. Ive been thru 5-6 hurricanes and only had one
item
trashed, a 22' camper on jacks rolled across the lawn. My fault.I
was
offshore and did not have it properly secured. You know the news
people
look for the worst to show you Yankee's on TV.
