After the Hurricane

No trees fell on my house.

After three hurricanes swept by Gainesville in two months, I feel pretty lucky to be able to say that.

Alex and Bonnie both missed us, but they scared us for a while. Charley, Frances, and Jeanne all left serious damage in central Florida. Jeanne blew in yesterday and howled all night long. Today the sky is blue. It's still a bit windy.

According to the National Hurricane Center: "The total of eight tropical cyclones reaching storm strength is a new August record, breaking the previous record of seven set in 1933 and 1995. The eight named storms that have formed so far in 2004 is twice the normal number of four."

The September report is not online yet.
