Imagine sitting in a pitch black house and hearing a howl like that with no where to go. |

OMG, yes! Ooh, I hate that sound!
I lived in FL during both the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.... Needless to say, I've been through enough hurricanes to last me a lifetime! Though I've learned a bunch of tips and tricks to get you through the storm and the aftermath!
Anyway, since I lived by myself, I always made sure I went to someone else's house for the height of the storm. Where I lived, the lights would go out if you sneezed, so I knew that the power would be out shortly after the winds started picking up (which it did). The thought of me sitting alone at night in a pitch black house with the wind, the torrential downpours, the vivid thunder and lightning, and the constant threat of tornadoes was too much for me.... Plus the fact that there were pine trees all over the yard and if any came down, there was practically no way it would miss the house... So once the main rain bands started moving in, or dusk was coming, I would leave for my friend's house.
I don't miss those days! Though it's funny how since I left FL, the state hasn't been touched by a single hurricane!

I didn't realize it has been that long since a hurricane hit FL. I hope they're not in for a bad one to make up for that...
