hmmmm...get back to me after you live through 3 major hurricanes crossing paths pretty much right over your house & then let me know how you feel. till then i reserve the right to "whine" about any tropical storm getting this close to where i live. ;-)
i *love* it in FL...but it's a wee bit unnerving when 125mph winds are shaking your entire house around you for 18 straight hours as you wonder when you're going to turn into Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. i still reserve the right to stress over natural disasters that threaten my home. =P
ok mini lesson on hurricanes for those who haven't had the fun of weathering them out. the natural spiral motion of a hurricane, combined with the high winds & tropical temperatures spawns many tornadoes inside the walls of the hurricane itself. a lot of the patchy destruction that occurs when a hurricane moves through an area is actually caused by these tornadoes & as a result of the hurricane knocking out power & radio singals & such, you don't get any warning that a tornado vortex has been detected in your area. so therefore just like Dorothy i could most definitely have been picked up by a tornado & with absolutely no warning.
They should stop calling them hurricanes then, maybe call them tornados waiting to happen. Either way your not in Kansas and as far as I am aware, the only way to get to "OZ" is to be taken away by a tornado in Kansas ;)
"Laura felt a warmth inside her. It was very small, but it was strong. It was steady, like a tiny light in the dark, and it burned very low but no winds could make it flicker because it would not give up."— Laura Ingalls Wilder

Want some cheese to go with that whine?
