I am SOOO happy I don't have to deal with real tornadoes. Or earthquakes. I'll stick to phenomenon that I can track on the TV days in advance. I was "evacuated" at least a dozen times in 2004 & 2005, and rarely had power either summer consistently for more than a few weeks at a time. I actually left my storm shutters up from sometime in summer 2005 until after Wilma went through. Light through windows is highly overrated. I lived in a 2 story townhouse, and was so tired of putting them up and taking them down. I just looked at the list of the 10 most costly hurricanes in US history, and I have been through 6 of them. Either dead in the middle, indirectly, or ran from. (I ran from Andrew. That last satellite image I saw the day before, and the size and range of cat 5 winds, I put my cat in the car and we left.)
All that, and I will still live in the middle of the huricane zone over tornadoes any day. I'd deal with tornadoes if someone could give me 3 or days warning. On that note, it's almost June, it's time to go restock the hurricane supplies. me.
