Chuck: This is the first time in over 118 years that four storms have hit the same state in a one year period. The last time this happened was in 1886 and Texas was the unlucky state. I am so tired of moving the boat and all my toys to prepare for more high winds and rains to hit our area and this being in a period of less than 7 weeks. I have realatives on both sides of the state, so either way some of us get hit with direct hurricane forces. Now they expect it to hit in Fort Pierce where several of them live and then travel across to my area on the other side of the state with hurricane winds continuing most or all the way. I used to feel sorry for the people with all the snow storms up north, but this is getting old putting up with flooding, sometimes no electric for days at a time and trees down. Just got through cleaning up after the last one and here comes another. It does seem that everyone in different areas of the US have at different times their own troubles with weather, fires or some kind of distruction. We all expect our homeowners insurance to go up at least $300.00 next year across the board for everyone living in the state. I still have over 75 large oak trees left on my property, some reaching over 60 feet tall and thats after paying to remove over 65 others, due to being damaged or in a bad place to keep them any longer. I have spent over 12k out of pocket having this done in the last 2 years alone. The tree guys really like me and know me well by now. Well got to get ready for what ever comes my way again and hope we don't get any major damage on this side of the state like the east side is getting ready for. Hope all is well with the rest of the people here and if you live in FL, good luck in you area and I hope you fair well with the storm. Best regards, Walk
