good point...someone argued that the nhc should watch the remants of these storm worldwide because frances, jeanne, charley (aw hell just pick your storm) could re-emerge off the coast of africa again
He was only joking, but with just a smidgen of fact thrown in:

Evacuating Charley = $575.00
Evacuating Frances = $1,216.00 (We couldn't go home. Our house was in the middle of a lake.)
Jeanne = We toughed it out in the house, and are now stranded, along with perhaps 100 neighbors. The water around us is compromised by septic, and we have water 2 hours a day (yuk)
Everything we own is in plastic bags.
The problem isn't noaa. It's the choice of living here. It's an alligator swamp full of ants that leave blisters.
BUT!!! In the 80's I lived in Wash State, and had the front row seat to watching Mt.St. Helens blast it's top off. And earthquakes were common.
I like earthquakes better than hurricanes. I don't want advanced warning. It's tedious and shreds the nerves.
Jeanne was headed north, off into the atlantic. It wasn't supposed to be an item. But it went into a little CIRCLE and aimed straight!
Jeanne may exit into the Altlantic, spin up, and blast us again.... for all we know.
At 3am our window was leaking...3 am we were tearing the pillowtops off the mattress, .... taped it to the windows... put the box springs up against that...then shoved the sofa up to bolster the entire mess. We didn't sleep for 36 hours.
To see there's a 'little wave' flowering in Cape verde, ...!!!! :-O
My husband went outside... I followed him with the camcorder,... and he turned and said, "I've always wanted to fly!"......and he ran out into the storm, like an 8 year old - his arms out, soaring and running, with a giant smiling face being pounded with wind and water....
It was the only good part of the storm.
