---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ben, Looking at the maps, that storm is about two hundred miles across. I'm not sure that being 100 miles from the shore is still a safe place to be. I can remember when I was in Vietnam, we used to take barb wire and tie the metal roofs down to steel fence posts driven into the ground when a typhoon came close. I've never been in the South when we've taken a direct hit from a hurricane, but even our being two hundred miles or so from the coast doesn't make me feal warm and fuzzy when we're in their path. Good luck to all. Rummy ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ben, Looking at the maps, that storm is about two hundred miles across.
