Ah Mick, we have been so unbelievably lucky, I can't even tell you. With Katrina we were without power for 4 days. But our neighbors have a pool and friends did have power, so we could go cool out there as well as cook. Rita only gave us a bit of rain, actually more than Katrina, but nothing in comparison to the gulf areas and winds only gusting to 40. So, so far, no worries mate. We are getting our hurricane drills down though.
