    It's a real mess here in Gainesville Florida.  We are known as the
    city of tree's. Most tree's in any town in the nation.  Thousands of
    tree's have been uprooted.  Fallen thru houses and even killed one
    woman in her mobile home.  Electric out, mosquito's everywhere, heat,
    and flooding. Roads are packed, food and gasoline are in short
    supply. One neighborhood has sewage backed up into their homes.  All
    of their homes are a total loss because of the health hazards.  And
    we are the lucky ones.  Many towns are totally destroyed.  Thousands
    of retired seniors living in mobile homes in the coastal area's are
    now homeless. They moved here fore the good life.  Many have had it,
    and are moving back up north. 

    But it could always be worse.  Hurricanes generally don't kill like
    tornado's or raging fires.  I would much rather be in this situation
    then have to deal with the fires in California, or the rushing floods
    in North Carolina.  For the most part, this is just an
    inconvieniance.  Ever so greatful that we are alive and well.
