Welcome, I was born in CA, but moved on to the Gulf Coast from the Pacific Coast--trading earthquakes for hurricanes.
Where on the Gulf Coast? I have homes in AL, FL and CA so I am "lucky" enough to enjoy both of these natural disasters! At least, I don't have to worry about not being able to blow-dry my hair if the electricity goes out!
The Crescent City, New Orleans, the Big Easy, the City that Care Forgot, but that b_tch Katrina didn't

. Lost our summer house in Mississippi to the storm. Oh well, "tomorrow is another day" as someone said.
