I don't know how those of you who live in hurricane-prone areas deal with it!
Sometimes not too well. That's what drugs are for. Legal, of course. Katrina put lots of folks on a variety of things and after almost 3 years of feeling safe(er), Gustov comes along and rattles our cages. Close on it's heals now is Ike and there are lots of us that have said we can't keep going thru this. It's not so much the thought of losing our stuff again - it's just stuff. It's the hassle and BS of dealing with the aftermath. Insurance, mortgage companies, contractors, etc. For us the absolute worst part was our morgage company as they held the insurance proceeds and doled them out a dime at a time. What a pain.
Speaking of which, I've got to evacuate work of I won't get home. The water level is so high the roads are being shut down left and right. I'm just outside of Pearlington, MS. More later...
