<p>Anyone notice what a peaceful summer it has been for hurricanes? No Katrina, Andrew, Ike, Wilma. They have all stayed away this year. I must say I am very glad since I hate to see people crying when they lose everything they own.</p>

<p>Makes my job a lot easier, when we can work on repairing all the damage in an off-year. Lots of calm and peace where we can do tons of mitigation work to prevent future damage…? Fine by me!</p>

<p>There’s a randomness to life that the pundits have a hard time with. Sometimes its a low season, sometimes its a high season, and its tougher to predict than people would like. You could still have a tough October. We’ll see.</p>
