I can relate Soopaman back in 2004 my part of Florida got hit by two canes with in a few weeks of each other Charley and then Frances.I live about 40 miles inland so we did not have to deal with surges but it took out lots of cars and living rooms around here and whole homes closer to the coast.I got very lucky and had no serious damage besides trees that had to be cleared.

After the first storm the power was out for 12 days after the second an amazing 14 days all in the summer heat no power is much worse in the winter though.I'm just glad that we never got hit with Katrina or Sandy strength storms cat 5s.

I have some family that lives on the other side of Lake Pontchartrain their house got washed away completely by Katrina luckily they where not in the area at the time and are wealthy so it was not as much of a loose to them as it would have been to others still loosing your home is always lame.
