re: #777 vxbush

Really? I feel exactly the opposite. I’ve grown up in tornado alley, so I know what to do and how to do it. Hurricanes kind of freak me out because there’s so much water that can cause so much damage.

Your reasoning is my very own, for hurricanes. :-)

I know what to do, I have a lifetime of dealing with and ‘reading’ them, I know when to run and when to stay. The water threat is mostly for low-lying and coastal areas …I am 40 miles from the coast, although for Katrina I drove south until I met the gulf …..it had come in more than ten miles. I’d never seen that. The biggest danger around here is falling trees ….those great old water oaks with shallow root systems just topple right over and cause major death and even death at times.
