windows,
to accent the house color
You think of your hall closet/saferoom as "cozy"
Your pool is more accurately described as "framed in"
than "screened in"
Your freezer in the garage now only has homemade ice in it
You no longer worry about relatives visiting during the summer
months
You, too, haven't heard back from the insurance adjuster
You now understand what that little "2% hurricane
deductible"
phrase really means
You're putting a collage together on your driveway of
roof shingles from your neighborhood
You were once proud of your 16" electric chain saw
Your Street has more than 3 "NO WAKE" signs posted
You now own 5 large ice chests
Your parrot can now say" hammered, pounded and hunker
down"
You recognize people in line at the free ice, gas and plywood
locations
You stop what you're doing and clap and wave when you see a
convoy of power company trucks come down your street
You're depressed when they don't stop
You have the personal cell phone numbers of the managers for:
plywood,
roofing supplies and generators at Home Depot on your speed dialer
You've spent more than $20 on "Tall white kitchen
bags"
to make your own sand bags
You're considering upgrading your 16" to a 20" chainsaw
You know what "Bar chain oil" is
You're thinking of getting your wife the hardhat with the ear
protector
and face shield for Christmas
You now think the $6000 whole house generator seems reasonable
You look forward to discussions about the merits of "cubed,
block and dry ice"
Your therapist refers to your condition as "generator
envy"
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 and
your
neighbor across the street, with the noisy generator, doesn't have
electric yet.
And finally, you might be a Floridian if:
You ask your relatives up north to start saving the Sunday Real
Estate classifieds
