Although we have been spared from hurricanes for the past few seasons, we in Florida know too well the damage that they can do. I am glad that people living in areas seldom affected by hurricanes took the warnings seriously and evacuated ahead of time. Looking at the coverage by the media, it's sad to see some of the old bridges that have stood the test of time being wiped out by flood waters. Let's hope that the rebuilding process doesn't drag out like it has in New Orleans and that life goes back to normal for all those affected.
