You might live in Florida if....
You might live in Florida if....
1. You exhibit a slight twitch when introduced to anyone with the first names of Charley, Frances or Ivan
2. Your freezer never has more than $20 worth of food in it at any given time
3. You're looking at paint swatches for the plywood on your windows, to accent the house color
4. You think of your hall closet/safe room as "cozy"
5. Your pool is more accurately described as "framed in" than "screened in"
6. Your freezer in the garage now only has homemade ice in it
7. You no longer worry about relatives visiting during the summer months
8. You, too, haven't heard back from the insurance adjuster
9. You now understand what that little "2% hurricane deductible" phrase really means
10. You're putting a collage together on your driveway of roof shingles from your neighborhood
11. You were once proud of your 16" electric chain saw
12. Your Street has more than 3 "NO WAKE" signs posted
13. You now own 5 large ice chests
14. Your parrot can now say "hammered ", " pounded " "packin' winds", and "hunker down"
15. You recognize people in line at the free ice, gas and plywood locations
16. You stop what you're doing and clap and wave when you see a convoy of power company trucks come down your street
17. You're depressed when they don't stop
18. You have the personal cell phone numbers of the managers for: plywood, roofing supplies and generators at Home Depot on your speed dialer
19. You've spent more than $20 on "Tall white kitchen bags" to make your own sand bags
20. You're considering upgrading your 16" to a 20" chainsaw
21. You know what "Bar chain oil" is
22. You're thinking of getting your wife the hardhat with the ear protector and face shield for Christmas
23. You now think the $6000 whole house generator seems reasonable
24. You look forward to discussions about the merits of "cubed, block and dry ice"
25. Your therapist refers to your condition as "generator envy"
26. You fight the urge to put on your winter coat and wool cap and parade around in front of your picture window when you finally get power but your
neighbor across the street with the noisy generator doesn't
27. And finally, you might be a Floridian if you ask your sister up north to start saving the Sunday Real Estate

I saw in the paper today that someone had put a sign in their yard that said:
1 Charley
2 Frances
3 Ivan
4 Sale
