Default Re: Tropical Storm Fay

My husband and I moved into our home in Springdale the day after Hurricane Charley. We'd owned the house for 18 months, but were just getting down for good. Anyway, the first month we were here there were 4 hurricanes. Jeanne was the worst only because it lasted 48 hours. Nothing being stuck in the house for 48 hours with a cranky old man. (Just kidding dear!) Other than that, the storms were not too bad. I've been through worse in Houston. Did make we wonder why we ever left Texas, though. Any damage that was done was cleared by TV within a day. We did hear about one house on the Sumter County side with a sinkhole after one of the storms. Of course we had to go look (being the ghouls that we are.) The whole driveway collapsed and the hole was about 5 feet deep. I guess it's because these houses are all built on sand. I would say that Fay is coming so get prepared, and good luck to everyone.
