Top Ten Reasons Hurricane Season is Like Christmas

From an e-mail that's been circulating around after Gustav tore up Baton Rouge:

10. Decorating the house (boarding up windows).

9. Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season (camping gear, flashlights).

8. Last minute shopping in crowded stores.

7. Regular TV shows pre-empted for "specials".

6. Family coming to stay with you.

5. Family and friends from out-of-state calling.

4. Buying food you don't normally buy ... and in large quantities.

3. Days off from work.

2. Candles.

and the number one reason hurricane season is like Christmas. . . .

1. At some point you know you're going to have a tree in your house!
