Yes it was.

Category 1.

Not sure if it's still a hurricane at this point. I think it's moved away from the water so yeah.

I heard that fay might cancel all scools in my area and Miami. It also might cancel my dads flight back here. Is this all true?

It's not hurricane.

Yes, it is expensive, and yes it's because of the hurricanes.

[sub]*resists urge to memberate* *coughcough*

Ehem. Anyway, I lived in Florida until I was about three. Sometimes I'm glad we moved so we're not in the way of hurricanes.

I imagine it probably would be, though, A Guy. [/sub]

Okay... I'll leave Stormy to do the membrating and post my opinion on the above post.

Anyways, I'd imagine house insurance in Florida to be quite expensive? (Someone please answer this, I've always wanted to know, with the constant hurricanes and whatnot.)

Yeah, Hurricane Wilma was way worse... Even though I slept through it anyway, heh. But everyone told me it was loud and the next day a bunch of trees and street signs had fallen and stuff, so I take their word for it.

I'm really glad that I don't live in the south US now...I know this storm isn't going to be that bad, but I had relatives that lived near New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina was going on. I sure hope no other hurricanes come up soon.

yeah, it won;t be too bad. My dad's coming up so I can spend some time with him before school starts. So we're gonna be driving in it. XD
