My mother and her husband live on Hutchinson Island, the place that

took a direct hit from Jeanne as well as Ivan. They cannot go back

there yet. The electricity was turned off on Thursday afternoon and

won't be back on for a couple of weeks, or so they say.

Once again, they decided to leave and go to a safer place that was

further inland than they chose for Ivan, and a bit further north,

just south of Orlando. Wouldn't you know it? They were in the

direct path AGAIN! They have no electricity and her husband's car

back window was smashed and the car filled with water, but that is

all for now. They are with friends who went to the same place with

them, they have plenty of vodka and canned food and water, so they

are trying to make the best of it.

Unfortunately, this is taking a tremendous psychological toll on my

mom. I am trying to get her to go to the doctor to get some

pharmaceutical help until she can better deal with it. She finally

agreed. I just cannot imagine going through what those poor people

in Florida have gone through.

Jodi,

I as sorry to hear of your mother's situation. You are right - this hurricane

stuff is the pits.

I am definitely over it by now, but hurricane season is still going! My

mother-in-law who

lives in CT also has a vactaion condo in Vero Beach. She is down now, and went

to stay

with my brother-in-law in West Palm Beach. Vero really took a hit and they are

on their

way back to assess the damage, but I haven't heard from them yet. We had

minimal

damage here - Frances was worse for us. I am blessed that it has just been an

inconvenience for us with power outages, a few trees down, and difficulty

preparing with

shutters & supplies. I really feel for those who have had damage not just once,

but several

times from the hurricanes. Homeowner's policies down here have a hurricane

clause

which says a homeowner has to pay a certain percent (usually 2-10%) of the value

of their

home for each hurricane occurrence as a deductible. So, a $200,000 house with a

2%

deductible has to pay at least $4000 out of pocket for damages for each

hurricane 7

chance being dropped after filing a claim! I hope we have seen our last

hurricane for

awhile...
