Just a litte question . . .

I telephoned the insurance company to ask if hurricane shutters are covered for theft under our policy. Turns out they are. It would be just our luck that the shutters are the only thing left standing in case of a repeat of an Andrew type storm.

Too strange to happen? During Andrew, our garden shed was lifted off its foundation, laid on its side against the corner of the fence and peeled open like a grape. The contents were not removed and were left in situ by a caprice of the wind. But large Seagrapes next to the shed were twisted off at the base like a wrung washcloth. Plus, the fence was undamaged.

A repeat of that experience would not be fair, anyway. No one should have to undergo that experience twice in a lifetime. Not if I were running things.

But, I'm not . . .

Amen, Sistah! Nobody should have to go through that more than once in a lifetime. And Katrina in New Orleans.

We moved to north central of the state and later on were told by a cousin that this was the best place to go through a hurricane... because it was so far inland that we wouldn't experience wind damage like folks who live closer to the coasts. She never said anything about tornadoes. We've had a couple of those since moving away from the tropics.

Good luck with hurricane shutter insurance prices. Hope they don't "blow you away"

I totally agree. One hurricane Andrew in a lifetime is enough. Shutters are important and I think of them every hurrican season. Thats about it. I guess it is time to change this pattern.
