[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4105530, member: 27991"] We do love to see a good wreck. Them raising insurance is a rip off. I lived on the coast for 25 years. Went through 4 hurricanes. Evaded 2 and rode out 2. Lost a bunch of shingles, once. Only hurricane claim filed. Have been in the cellar 3 times. Once in the past 20 years. Never an insurance claim for tornado damages. A Houston station had hired a new meteorologist. We nicknamed him "the weather wimp". He would get so excited at any weather event. Talked daily about his wanting a hurricane. He would be orgasmic, talking about hurricanes. Finally, late in the season, a hurricane entered the Gulf. He was like a 6 yo the week before Christmas. A couple days of strengthening, with little movement and the storms suddenly changes direction, moving directly toward Houston. He is standing in surf at Galveston, warning of huge waves, storm surge and time to evac is NOW. 2 days of the same, showing traffic backed up, warning of gloom and doom. Hurricane was a category 2, hit Galveston head on early Saturday morning. Winds were about 100 mph. I was working Galveston Mall security. Fairly uneventful day. Wimp reporting from hotel lobby on the sea wall, Armageddon had arrived. Monday evening news came on. Weather Wimp was not there. Never heard from, again. It was reported, he went back to Minnesota. A hurricane is BIG, compared to tornado. A hurricane gives you a weeks+ notice it MAY affect your are. A tornado MIGHT give 2 minutes. I will take a hurricane any day over a tornado. I don't worry much about either one. Fire and serious earthquakes are much harder to run or evac. [/QUOTE]
