Hurricane Tax Breaks
 

Lucky Floridians can buy tax free hurricane supplies this week.

Next week Hurricane season season starts, and it looks to be a very
active season again, with the most storms on the right coast.

The most endangered city after New Orleans is New York. If they get a
cat5 it will make New Orleans look like a cake walk.

The perdictions say 17 named storms and 5 major hurricanes.

Also heard that NOAA is going to define a new class of super hurricanes
(cat.6)

Are you ready?
What have you done to get ready?

Out here, the best way to get ready is to stick your finger in a dike. Of
course, you may get slapped.

So when the earthquake comes and the volcano spews on you what do
you do then?

Katy asks:

Actually, several years back, one of those psychics said that Rainier
was gonna blow and destroy Tacoma plus global warming would raise the
sea level by 50 feet or more and it'd get tropical here. A friend who
believed that guy quit his job at Microsoft, giving up a lot of stock
options (which were actually worth something back then), and moved to
Arizona. I said I didn't see a downside to it! Urban reneweal (Tacoma
sucks! It'd be wonderful to have it destroyed in one fell swoop.) and
since I live about a mile from the shore and about 75 feet above sea
level, I'd probably wind up with tropical waterfront property. Again,
as far as I was concerned, there was no downside.

Of course, he was gasp! wrong and it never happened. My friend
actaully moved back to Seattle *before* the destruction due date
because he hated living in Arizona so much that he said he'd rather die
here than live there. He got a new job at Microsoft but had to start
from scratch on his new stock options. Idiot.

Frank - still waiting

I'm not really a superstitious guy; but you may be right! The last
world-class hurricane to hit the area was Camille in 69. Not long after
that I moved to Seattle and there were no world-class hurricane hits to
the area after that until I decided to go back to New Orleans to buy a
boat last year. Ack!

Except I'm kinda like Typhoid Mary. We came through just fine, even the
boat was essentially unscathed; it's our surroundings that get trashed.
Consider New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, not to mention South Florida,
where we apparently attracted Wilma.

Did you ever meet Doug and Micky, the owners of Touch of Gray? It was the
40' Endeavor CC that was slipped at Whitehall Landing. They sold out and
sailed her down to Florida for retirement, where they put her up on the hard
while they took a sabbatical in Alaska. While there they were watching a
news clip of one of the hurricanes in FL on the tube, and there, before
their eyes, was Touch of Gray, sunken, all but her stern, nose down in the
bay. The surge apparently took her off the jackstands and beat her to
death.

I wasn't trying to frighten you, but thought you'd find that of
significance.

One of the reasons we're taking her out is that the dock we're on
took a trip down the Trent in a past hurricane. We'll be plenty
protected where we're at and on higher (hey...higher is inches
there...)...our cradle is down here so at least we won't have to be
on jackstands....

I guess I didn't realize you were on the Trent now. Parts of it can be
fairly safe from major storms. And a cradle is better than jackstands any
day in a storm.

How long are you going to be in MI?

Saw a piece on national news tonight: the bubble is leaking and prices are
falling all over, especially along the coasts. There are a surplus of homes
for sale currently, so the aggressive seller will probably be the successful
one.

Carolina...where ever?
