Evacuating for Katrina

So here we go again. It's just before 6:15am, and what was a storm a few
days ago is evolving into a catagory 1 hurricane. There's not a hanger to be
found on the eastern seaboard of Florida, so we're on our way north. You
just have to love Florida ....

Hurricanes, thunderstorms, poisonous creatures, alligators. Just how much
clearer does God have to make it that you're not supposed to live there?

Hey,

I loved living in Florida. You just have to blend in with the environment,
and you do fine. You forgot to mention Sharks by the way. Lots of Sharks.

I had a close call with an Alligator once. I was throwing rocks at it to
scare it off while I was fishing (I was 16 ok?). Few minutes later, I see
two eyeballs about 1 foot from my feet in the water (I was standing on the
bank). He lunged out of the water, and I RAN. Cool thing about alligators,
they run straight real fast, but they can't corner.

Anyway, I live in nice safe California now, only black widows, rattlesnakes
and a few bears to worry about here. (no earthquakes up here in the
mountains either)

They are trying to catch/caught a 7' alligator in L.A.

The Left Coast has sharks too, both land and water flavors...

Yeah, those great whites up there at Stinson Beach.

Theres been a few in Santa Cruz. When I lived in San Jose, I would go to
Santa Cruz and rent those little 14' boats to fish over the reef. Saw a few
of those great whites out in the kelp. Pretty scary. If they were smart
enough, they could flip that little boat and have a free meal. (of course,
sharks don't really like the taste of us).

Well, I moved here because I wanted to be close to my mother when I was
born.

Hi Marty

Good luck to you. I was there 2 years ago with the fires in Kelowna - it
ain't fun.

My thoughts are with you - hope you make it through OK.

Tony,

Thanks for the kind wishes. As it turns out, we simply brought the plane to
the center of the State and parked her for a couple of days. I brought her
home without a scratch. Our next trip is from West Palm Beach to a small
town in northeast Missouri the end of this week (Sept 1st or 2nd).

Best wishes to all who have been riding out Katrina in Miss. and LA.

Marty
