Too bad we have 4 more months of this crap.

Yep. Here comes another one:

We (wife and I) were supposed to land in Cozumel yesterday at 11:30am,
decided to change the tickets to September (9/11 geaux figure). I called
the couple that owned the house where we were staying at 10pm last
night. Power was off but it wasn't raining or blowing very hard yet.
Emily was 50 miles ESE with 135 mph winds and moving at 18 mph at the
time I gave them an update. Around 3am they were shoving buckets of
water out of the house (tile floors and solid concrete walls). No damage
to the house, but the yards pretty torn up, they'd already cut down all
the big trees when they boarded the place up. I got the update report
from their daughter in New Orleans after they called her this morning, I
haven't been able to get a line down there since last night, always a
recording until this afternoon when I can't even get that. Looks like
the internet is backup again down there though...

Hurricanes are weird things. The damage in the path of even a bad one
is often spotty - areas of massive destruction interspersed with areas
where only a couple of trees are down.

I've ridden out a half dozen or so of the damned things, and every one
of them has done something freakish. It would be fine with me if I
never saw another one.

Hope everything's ok with your people down there.

Here at 4R7 it was the tornadoes from Lily that did the most damage, 8+
of them in just a couple hours time...

Same here, have driven through several of them as well, thats a bit
freakier than sitting them out in the house...

Looks to be, haven't heard word about how downtown and the shops around
the ship docks made it though... Cancun apparently never lost power,
though that was a bit northeast of the eye...
