Cindy, The last hurricane that hit here was Jeanne in Sept. 2004, after being without power for nine days from Frances 9/04 and having the power knocked out again, I got smart and after Jeanne and went on a mission to Georgia to get a generator, mission was accomplished and I have a generator now, (FEMA reimbursed me!) so we are preparing for the "big blow" from Wilma here, and when it is all over, if there is no power I will bring you the next Simone/Simon via generator if need be! I just popped in at the right time today I guess! Ironic that this Simon is about candles, as I may be living by candlelight in the very near future! giggles Hugs! Brenda :)
