besides, most of the people that cry about their houses getting all fucked up live in piece of ---- trailer's anyways.

I can understand your point, as the only thing I have seen is the ---- up liberal media's point of view, however I still have no sympathy on any of those ***** down there.
Living in Okinawa and experiencing the weather here has givin me a whole new perspective on building a home to withstand weather. I wish I could post a picture of my house right now (im at work) but the entire thing is built to withstand the harshest of conditions and I honestly was considering building a home in the US just like my neighbors home. Its a beautiful home, 100% concrete, porch, garage, sun room...very nice place. Doesn't cost any more to build like that than building a stick built home...

I say go for it. if you got the cash and the time, and don't mind being stranded in a devested town or city for a few days, then by all means, go on. maybe you can help with the clean-up afterwards. I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

Uhh ..so last time i checked, the grand canyon wasn't in mexico, where the storm is. neither is any kingston i show on google. so i'm not 100% sure of where your planning on flying, and for 1000$, you must not live in the US any how...
