Bret -- exactly. However, there's a lot more people down on the coast now that have never been through the experience. Most people, it seems, will weigh out the options (if they have the option to) about where they want to live. They get to hurricanes and figure it's a good bet, as the storms rarely hit the same place twice in a row, so you may go 20 years without ever going through a direct hit.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony.
