Lil''red........ I just wanted to clarify something...or a couple of things. I don''t think that my opinion is of greater value than anyone elses.....but you apparently did, and probably because my opinion is based on 50 years of actual experience, so maybe you''re right...my knowledge is of greater value than the bleating noises made by people like you...."carpetbaggers with limited knowledge of Florida and its environs".

Cheap shots....it seems like that is what people of low social standing and low self esteem tend to run for when they can''t do more than blather and bleat without a fact to stand on. You really need to reach down between your legs and pull your head out of rectal defilade.

Historical tracking is the basis for all of the models that are used to project the track of a hurricane.....just call NOAA, they''ll confirm it. And just so you know, most of the damage to real estate in south Florida was not strictly due to Andrew, but as they later found out......shoddy construction, even worse inspections, ad nauseum.

As to Maydays and such, I tend to take things like that most serious, so your comment about "finding me in distress and throwing me a carpetbag loaded with bricks", just really goes to show just how low class you are. I think that maybe you need to grow up and get a grip on reality.

Beyond that, with regards to the weather....
We''uns know when to come in out of the rain.
