The full force of mother nature is not a force to reckon with. I've been through a number of hurricanes (growing up on the Florida Gulf Coast) and it wasn't the hurricanes so much that scared most people, it's the strom surge mixed with tornadoes. I'd rather face a hurricane any day than a tornado - more time to prepare. I helped clean up after a tornado in Huntsville, Alabama in the late 80's. It was horrible....
I do wish everyone a happy labor day (I have work
) and a speedy recovery after the storm!
