Re: Jim

Lord, what a mess.  I read an article this am about a kennel that has taken
in animals for the duration.  They can handle 37 dogs, but they have taken
in 137 animals and have packed them in wherever.  Apparently the concrete
building should withstand the storm, but they've lost power and are working
in the dark.

Is it only because I know people (you) down there now that I am more aware
of the hurricanes or have they gotten much worse in recent years?
