Florida Real Estate News : Sarasota Florida and Beyond

When I lived in Buffalo, New York, I was always prepared for the winter driving weather with warm clothing, three types of boots depending upon the severity of the cold, great snow tires, the gas tank always above 1/2 full and a good snow brush to remove the snow from the car.

Now that I live in Florida, the preparedness has shifted to hurricanes, and part of the preparedness is having your “Hurricane Kit” prepared and ready to go. As you would imagine the kit includes flashlights, batteries, water, and food including those great snacks, candy bars.

Yesterday, in preparation for the storm, another associate, who has 4 children, asked his wife about their Hurricane Kit. She said that it was the large portable, storage container with the blue top in the utility room. When he went to check out the contents, he discovered that all the food including those great snacks and candy bars were gone. It seems Michael, their teenage son, had eaten everything.
