Good luck to you Kenny. As a fellow Floridian(one who barely got missed by Charley.) I hope that all works out for you. If you don't mind me asking what city are you in? I used to live on the east coast in Vero Beach about 10 years ago. gamehead200, There are basements in Florida, just not that many. We have some here in downtown Tampa which is right on the Bay and the Hillisborough river.
