Hurricane Season - we're not talking football

Can you guys believe Rick actually wrote his first post, Hurricane Season - are you ready? .He woke up yesterday, grabbed the hurricane preparation guide provided by Miami-Dade County and said, "This is definitely blog material!".

Usually I would grab the publication, do some research and post, but this time he blew me away. I did assist him and jotted down his thoughts on paper (before he changed his mind), and then helped him add the map and the links.

But I think it's a great start! I will consider him my first guest writer on our Miamism blog site, since I don't think it will happen often.

The article talks about the 2005 hurricane season putting a damper on the South Florida real estate market. It talks about buyers being concerned about property location including evacuation zones. It tells people about Miami Dade County's yearly publication, Miami-Dade Now, which provides great information about hurricane preparedness, a map with evacuation zones and other useful information.

We can't control the weather, but can guide our readers on how to be better prepared.

Ines, do you think we're rubbing off on them - Jack jumped in recently and it's fun to watch. I'll have to go read his post.

You must be so proud. I am going to read it right after I write this comment.

Way to Go! It is wonderful when you read about a blog of inspiration. Keep up the good work! I do enjoy reading your stuff and am always learning something new! Ines you are a good example and it seems to be rubbing off.

Rick,

Congrats on finally getting your feet wet! I will have to jump over and read the post.

Ines,

You better watch out... he might just start liking this. :)

Cyndee - I think we are....he has been coming up with great ideas, but actually getting down and dirty was a first.

Mana - It is the beginning......I am very proud. Now he has to work on his voice.

Allison - you are always so sweet, thanks so much for all the compliments.

Jason - we can't both be addicted to this, who will take care of the business, and the kids and the house?

good post. Thanks for telling us about it Ines. We will be watching y'all this hurricane season.

Ines that is very cool. I am going to click through and see what Rick had to say :)

Maureen - Are you kidding me? This is HUGE! Rick and blogging is a total oxymoron - maybe I've been wrong.

Mary - Now I have to get him to write more accounting and financing related posts, it would be great.

Wow! Rick wrote a post? Hang on a minute............. I had to check to see if hell just froze over. I couldn't find any mention of it in my bible or on the news......

the 2005 hurricane season didn't put a damper on buyers, they were all wet.

newspapers love to sell FEAR.

hurricanes are real and shouldn't be dismissed, BUT where's the article about the 2006 hurricane season.

beautiful weather doesn't sell anymore?

Lisa - LOL! you just cracked me up!

He did a great job! you better watch out he'll be hogging the blog.

Jay - you're right. In 2005, we put up shutters at least 7 times. Some people never took them down, other didn't bother to put them back up, it was a really active season. Last year, not one single time. It's hit or miss, but you do need to be prepared.

Maureen - he thinks I'm the hog, we'll see about that! LOL!

I think it's Awesome that Rick is now posting! What a perfect guest writer :)

WOW - there really is a Rick!!! Just kidding - I heard his voice on your video awhile back....he did a great job with that post!

Ann

Ines, I would like to also extend my congratulations to Rick. Who knows he might like blogging and you will have to fight him for computer time.......LOL

Go Rick! Watch out Ines...next thing you know he'll be trying take it over.

Monika - he's getting a kick out of all the responses too.

Ann - and if you come to Orlando this weekend, you'll get to meet him in person! : )

George - oh no no no! I'm not letting that happen, my AR time is sacred!

Kelly - maybe it should have been him doing the Project Blogger thing.

Hi Ines - I won't be able to be there this weekend - ;-( I wasn't able to rearrange some important things, so this past weekend I made the decision to not go. I'm bummed because I really wanted to meet you and others from Florida that I hadn't already met, and see those I had again.

AAAAaaaah! That's too bad Ann. I'm sure we'll have another opportunity soon.

I don't believe the myth that hurricanes hurt the market... we're still growing in population faster than we're bleeding people that don't want to stay

I think there have been some snowbirds who second guessed new purchases but they were the exception, not the rule

Hurricane parties are actually fun!
