I have a cousin that moved to Navarre back in the early to mid 90's . The hurricanes are his fault. They did not have that many for many years. Since he moved there, I have lost count of the Hurricanes that have it that area. I think he has been OUT of his flooded house more than he has been IN it. Told him to move to another state. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kat Fulcher" <kfulcher55@gmail.com> To: <vafloyd@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 6:00 PM Subject: Re: [VAFLOYD] Where is everybody >I grew up in Ft.
