Reason #458,678,978 to hate Florida?

Today I woke up to Tammy. The rain that was pounding on the window so loud it woke me up turned out to be a tropical storm. A tropical storm that was not in existence last night when I went to bed. So those are the breaks here in Florida. People always tell me they wouldn’t live anywhere else because we see our natural disasters coming. HA! Of course this isn’t going to be more than some nasty wind and lots of rain. I just hope the power doesn’t go out, because the entire south has devoted its electric crews to the hurricane ravaged areas. I certainly shouldn’t complain because many people have had it far worse lately. I just worry that this giant barrier island I call home is just a ticking time bomb and our destructive storm is a matter of when and not if. Tammy doesn’t look like she’ll be much more than a nuisance. I just hope she isn’t bringing any of her friends by in the next few weeks. I hear the rest of the country is experiencing something called “fall.” Send a little of that our way would you?
