Actually they're up to Karl and Lisa now; so far our house was in the path 
of both Frances and Jeanne.  Karl and Lisa are currently "no threat to 
land", however.

Things went very well; we didn't lose as many shingles as we did from 
Frances, and the power was back on in less than 24 hours, which is 
absolutely amazing.  The wife and I went down to Miami and stayed in a 
hotel though, rather than in the house this time.

Anyway, so here I am, back in the house, with power, air conditioning, a 
refridgerator, and Internet, feeling *very* lucky indeed.  For hurricane 
Frances just three weeks ago, we were without those "simple luxuries" for a 
few days.
