DavidLMO said:Well - while living in Massachusetts of all places - I lived thru a hurricane in '85 (forget which one - but it was a big one). It hopped over Long Island and came right up our coast. At one of its highest points, I was standing with my step son at a door and looking at 100 foot Pine trees bending over at about 45 degrees. Snap - pop. We watched one nearly 2 feet in diameter get snapped like a toothpick. Of course for us there, NorEasterns in Winter were far worse. That's another story...if interested and you are unfamiliar confer The Perfect Storm book or movie.

And it's my birthday!!! And I bet I'm still way younger than most of you! I'm 37, by the way. My brother turned 40 last Saturday. My poor parents still have us living in their house. They love us that much!
