Has there been any mention of Hurricame Ivan back in 2004? IRRC that was quite a strong hurricane as well. Was living in Orlando at the time, and got hit by 3 hurricanes the year, the first one (Charley?) nailed Orlando off the gulf coast as it turned inland sooner that predicted. Lived on the east side or Orlando and we were without power from Fri night to Sun afternoon. The other two came in off the Atlantic, a bit south of Orlando, but still had to "ride them out). did not lose power from those two....
The following July (2005) we headed for Albuquerque, in part because of those storms, but more importantly because she needed to be close to her mom, aunt, and grandmother.....The company she worked for in Orlando had an opening in the Albuquerque office. and since they paid for the move, that was the clincher......
