Re: port charlotte & Mountains

[Guest guest]

 What about Jan - March when it is not hurricane season and is cold in the

mountains?  It is wonderful down here then.  I know someone I went to school

with and she left Port Charlotte too and moved to Ky, I think.  I think the

hurricane scared her out.  They were okay.  

It is absolutely lovely here in the winter.  Hurricane season is June 1 to Dec.

31 or thereaouts.  This year we had some tropical storms before that forming by

Africa but didn't come here.   Some have been in early December.  But Jan -

March is so beautiful.  Sometimes it does get cold for a week or so but sure

different from up north.  Your weather there may be better than many of our

viitors though.  When the Canadians came down last year it was 20 below 0 in

Quebec.  Was still cold when they went back in April.  They usually start

coming down in November.  They can only stay 6 months, less 1 day in the states

because of their insurance.  They have to get a upplement for down here.

Although most of my family is still in Port Charlotte, I can hardly bear to go

down there. NOTHING is the same, and it was shocking how unbelievably

destructive the hurricane was there. I used to spend MOST of my time down there,

coming here to the mountains often, but that was my home...I haven't been there

in years now, and stay only a few days when I do go...the hurricane ruined it

for me (and was very traumatic for my daughter-she doesn't like to go there

anymore either)

was still rebuilding going on and there were a lot of things that were

missing.  It was more of a fishing community than a tourist area.  There

weren't a lot of things to see.

Tampa is where I met my Hubby. and had our 1st child. That was MANY moons ago, I

remember you could almost set your watch by the afternoon shower! Had our 2nd in

Milton Fl. . Like Florida enough to visit, but dont want to live there again and

it has nothing to do with the weather..lol

year.....we ( personally ) became tired of the heat in the summer but for the

majority of time that we lived in florida, we greatly enjoyed

hatches " when one is headed your way and god willin' and the crick don't rise it

will decide to head away from you.....it is just part of nature and one heck of

an experience to go through
