First off, I'd just like to say that Simon's idea about the conspiracy of oil and gas companies is TRUE! I have resorted to filling up everything with gas! I have come to realize that gas is more precious than water, since with all the rain, you can boil water clean with gas! Therefore, my tubs have both been emptied of water and have now are filled with kerosene. It makes the bathroom a bit stinky, but we can fill our camp stuff with it. (until it evaporates) I also own 382 chainsaws, 497 generators, a camel, 3 llamas, and a small boat for water evacuations. Then there are the 2,693 milk jugs filled with diesel oil that I have stashed in the trunk of my car, in case I ever need to sell a gallon to someone for their boat while they are floating downstream.
Hmmm... as for hurricane deflection, I say get all politicians in the state to stand on Miami Beach and recite their "If I get elected..." speeches. There's enough hot air in all that to deflect a continental plate, much less a storm!
My how we get testy over a few storms... cat 4's headed straight at us that is.
