Living in Florida brings on the hype of June 1st and hurricane season. Not too bad really as I get some consulting work out of it. Was on a local TV news show doing some home strengthening advisor work. My 2 minutes and 45 seconds of fame for a while. 🙂
I always find it interesting how much hype the beginnng of the season generates then if its a slow season the interest is lost unless there is a storm.
And now there are trade shows and magazines just for hurricane protection products. Just a few years ago that was unheard of.
Typcial human nature I suppose?

quit rushing it....
you got a few hours yet to go....
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

Nope. NWS applied "Arthur" to the tropical storm which had been the Pacific TS Alma yesterday (the 30th). So a 20-30km 'storm' (40mph winds) has "started" the storm season. Mind you, this thing barel got offshore, and has been mostly a normal rain event in the rainy season, down Belieze way . . . Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
it's not in yur yard....
it ain't in mine....
neither is it in 4lorn1's....
so stop with the rushing it already...

Not me, it's the pseudo-gonad-ed types at NWS HQ . . .
Ugh, I hate this collateral storm thing.
The people I'm required to work with offend me at every turn <g>Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
they inhabit the offended thread?????

No, then they'd be offended, and have to take the day off, what with the Vapours and all . . . Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
the Vapors sure get around...

life is too busy to wait around for a hurricane -
so - you're a media expert on hurricane home strengthening - 2.75 minutes of advertizing you can't buy -
got a way to cash in on it?
David,
Well, I get paid to do the segment...beyond that not really as EVERYONE around here is into shutters, retrofits, etc.
I have been doing the media parts for about the past few years. I actually like doing it as I make more money "talking about the work" than I ever could by "actually doing the work"!
Just wish I could do it full time.
Mike
we get it too, they have already started the "Your going to die, leave town, turn in your guns, you will die, gas your vehicle, leave town, everybody going to die' you hear it every fifthteen minutes since march
LOL!
We get it too....from both sides. Tornado season, and hurricane season.
What the twisters don't git the hurricane will...
