we've lived through countless hurricanes ourselves over the last 30 years so we know the drill all to well. It's nice being in a rental this time around where the drill is "grab renter's insurance policy, go stay in hotel in atlanta and let landlady sweat it out" if it does come our way.
the worst in recent memory for us was Georges. it didn't do a terrible amount of damage but for whatever reason it took an eternity to get our power back on. This will however be my first hurricane on the east coast instead of the gulf...woohoo!
