For those missing snow, it looks like another storm hitting the east coast next week.

Oh fun. And we were finally getting to see the mud, too.

I'm sorry. I don't miss the snow. I am happily in FL and enjoying my daily dose of sunshine.

@Katie I get to travel to FL once a month to visit our home office. They have been laughing at me all winter.
-
I'm pushing for an office in Barcelona.
-
if we can grow our business enough that I just handle remote stuff and manage people, I think I will push for a house in Japan. I really want my girls to have a couple years (at least) growing up there.
-
That's how we are with Italy.

Yes, I'm just north of there in St Pete. Haven't been laughing so much as feeling very blessed that I'm here and not further north.
Perhaps try coming down more often. -
@scottalanmiller My wife and the girls were back for 10 weeks last year and the girls were in school for 8 of those weeks Because the Japanese school year starts at the beginning of April and the first semester ends on the 3rd week of July. I went back in the middle of that for 3 weeks. This year they are only going back for ~7 weeks with the girls going to school for the entire month of June and I am staying home.

Perhaps try coming down more often.The controller at one of my clients just bought a retirement house in central FL right before Thanksgiving. She has been down there a week a month since. Pretty easy to do with the modern workplace. This last time I sent her with a SIP phone since they are going to be rolling our a PBX soon.

That place is under water during a minor hurricane. Have you ever seen the storm surge signs in downtown? They have them in different places depending on the category of the hurricane. Its kind of scary. I remember going over the Howard Franklin Bridge during a tropical storm. There was water splashing on the bridge. I remember going 10mph over that bridge while the VAN was getting killed by the wind.

@Katie If you guys want to do any Tampa/Orlando/Sarasota Mango Meetups,let us know.
We can also host trainings or other IT events at our facility in Sarasota. Our training room can hold about 30 people and we have a cafeteria area for socializing.

Not completely, though I think some parts are more prone to it than others. I live on the west side of town, out of the floodplain. It can get windy and wet, that's true. A small price for never having to shovel snow.
And in a tropical storm, I wouldn't be crossing any of the bridges. (unless I had to evacuate, and in that case I should have crossed long before the storm came through.) -

Thanks, Ryan! Something to keep in mind, for sure - especially for a MangoLassi meetup! As the membership grows, I'll be happy to coordinate an event in this area.

Yes I have. It isn't fun, regardless of where you are when it hits.

Did you live in a different area?
The last major hurricane to make landfall in Tampa/St. Pete was in 1921. Tampa/ St. Pete would be underwater if anything Cat2 or higher were to make a direct hit.
