269: Tara hoped the roof wouldn't blow off

I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, and I like it here. I never

have to shovel snow, I don’t have to drive on ice, and earthquakes

are pretty rare. I can ride my bike almost year-round.

But

- one of the worst things about living in Florida is going through

hurricane season. I’m in the Tampa Bay area, which is on the Gulf

of Mexico side, so we’re a little more sheltered. But even here, we

sometimes have hurricanes that come up into the gulf and cause some

damage when the decide to finally come on land. My son David was

actually born during a hurricane.

Tara

knows about hurricanes because she’s been through a terrifying one.
