I can understand that, Mark. Living in a place where the weather can take away almost all of your possessions in a single day is not for everyone. In the past 20 years, we’ve had about three storms on forecast track for South Florida that required me to pack up my entire collection in waterproof Tupperware bins and move them to a safe room on my first floor. These were category 4-5 storms, which could easily render shutters and heightened construction techniques useless. We were fortunate that they ultimately missed our area or blew though at “just” a category 2. It takes some getting used to, but hey, the trade off is we get to live in the beautiful tropics, where I can fish, bike, golf and enjoy the outdoors almost all year when I rotate away from the trains. If it wasn’t for those darn killer storms and lack of basements to build train layouts in, this place would be paradise, LOL.
