Smootchie, We have the heat too but not the humidity. That makes it bearable. My friends who had lived on their yacht for several years at Merritt Island said they couldn't handle anyy more storms , so they sold and bought a home in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Acouple of years ago they had onsiderable problems with the hurricane, they were found floating around in one of their small boats. I hope you don't have any problems with the storms this season. They can certainly be scary and cause a lot of problems.

let me tell ya,,,,, if we could find somewhere to go we'd be gone!! The humidity is a killer diller, let me tell you. I saw yesterday it was a wonderful 76 degrees in Chicagoland - made me homesick, fer shure. Lots of times I long for a taste, a morsel, of COLD air. Was talking to a neighbor (new to SW Fla) about the hurricanes...he said he would just leave if we have a threat but the problem there is that ya just can't tell which way those storms are gonna go!! Have known people that evacuated, the storm turned, and they ended up worse off than if they had stayed. From the sound of things - no one is safe from Mother Nature no matter where they live. Hope your friends are having a better time in KY - what a beautiful area they live in now. paulette in sw fla usa workin' up a good sweat just tappin' on the pc.....
