My fellow Floridians, what are you doing so far about Erika ?

46. It does. That year three (3) hurricanes hit Florida, and all had one thing in common:

They crossed Bartow, where my mother's folks are buried (old pioneer-era Crackers). I drove home for an indefinite stay in Gainesville. Cut up several downed trees in our old home's backyard; my brother had previously taken almost three days to clear the dirt lane so anyone could reach the house. He and his wife lives on Lake Santa Fe and related a disturbing story. While holed up for almost a week in their house, with crashing cypress all around, they heard the deep humming of a large propeller plane (old Neptune bomber?) cutting over closely. It went on for some time, and he thought it was lost or in trouble, and might ditch into the large lake, so he ventured outside in the blowing debris: No plane. It was just the visible fluttering vibration of his second story roof. They somehow felt relieved.
