This is maddening to me! I live on the Gulf Coast, and you are right bluebonnet, it’s June through November. So we are just about as far from hurricane season as possible. The other thing that is ridiculous is that it’s a "freak" hurricane! The grace of a hurricane, as opposed to most natural disasters, is that you have PLENTY of notice. We always have time to do laundry, pack, load up heirlooms, board up the house, and beat the traffic out of town before it even gets cloudy. Days really can stretch things, but I have such a hard time swallowing this one!
