sure ministercreek. A cat 5. Right.

Have any idea what a cat 1 is like? Four of them passed over my house two years ago.

Cat 1 is strong enough to bring down large trees and tear roofs off of houses. To this day, evidence of those storms are still everywhere in Central Florida.

I bet a strong tropical storm would make you soil your drawers.

I've been left behind on an island when the National Forest Service evacuated all the other campers due to a hurricane coming our way. Luckily, it hit land at tropical storm strength.

It's true, sounds like a freight train is bearing down on you. Then it goes away. Then it starts to come back. Over and over again - for hours.

Then when you think it's finally over, here comes part B.

Next day when I arrived at the dock to catch the ferry to go home. The dock was gone. Storm surge had ripped it to pieces.

I would not want to go thru that again.
