Damn I just got all the trees and crap out from behid my house caused by Charley 3 weeks ago. Dont expect anywhere near the type of wind damage as last time, but a hell of a lot more ran; perhaps up to 12 in.
Guess what? There is still another one (Tropical Storm Ivan) in the Atlantic, and it appears to be taking the same course as Frances. Ivan is expected to be a hurricane by Tuesday and slowly head towards the U.S. The offical peak of hurricane season is Sept. 15 and then the season does not end till the last of Novemeber.
Just to put a little more salt in the wound; the U.S. is just 10 years into a 30yr positive cycle for hurricanes.

I live on vancouver Island so I have never had to experience a tornado or hurricance. Which I am very glad I have never had to experience. Occasionally we feel the tail end or the dying moments of a hurricane but all does is rain more than usual and it gets almost windy enough to fly a kite. I think the worst thing that has happened here was a snow storm in 96 giveing us a record 5-6 feet of snow which is remarkble for here and we suffered some seriosu flooding last fall.
