| Thank you Kristen, I am sure we will be fine, it usually just is very messy. Branches and limbs, I am lucky we have a big garage so I can store all the vehicles and camper inside. We lost so many white pines from hurrican Bob there isn't all that many left to fall.

Hurricanes are scary. We were in Orlando for Hurricane Charley and I was TERRIFIED. But you couldn't get out of the city because everyone was doing the same thing. We went to Wal-Mart early that day to stock up on all the supplies and it was jam packed with people. And the whole day just had a sense of gloom and doom. Then we just waited out the Hurricane and it was awful. I hope you can get out before it comes.

| We stayed here through hurricane Bob...we were just married for about 3 weeks. We ended up losing 17 white pines...one landed on my shed, another on the addition on my house. Remarkably they did not do a lot of damage. My neighborhood is pretty tight knit so we all took turns cooking all our food and sharing it, before it went bad. We were without water(well) and electric for 16 days. But it was kind of fun because everyone worked together. We all cleaned up each others properties and helped each other out. I tape my big bay window...but that is pretty much it. I didn't lose any windows through hurricane Bob.
