To all the Floridians - good luck in the blow.

You do know what a "G'zunda" is? It goes under the bed -
known as a chamber-pot in the pre-flushing days:-) Remember
that sewage pumping systems may not work.

I can relate - and I understand your concern. I was on the
assessment team after Cyclone Tracy in Darwin in 1975.
Fortunately, I wasn't there during the cyclone - but I did
open the fridge on 6th January which had been fully stocked
with 40Kg (90lbs) of banana prawns (giant shrimp) for a
Christmas Dinner.

Whatever you do - don't store any shrimp. That is a smell I
will never, ever, forget:-)

Batten down the hatches.


Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.
