I'm not sure it matters where one lives, there is always some kind of weather threat. It really helps with today's technology to at least be able to take precautions if one needs to or wants to. Here in Indiana, it's mostly flooding and tornadoes.

I saw some pretty bad damage to buildings on TV yesterday. Thank goodness nobody was hurt though. My prayers to those who have to rebuild.
In NYC we don't have weather issues, but I'm leaving that safe little niche. Snowstorms and ice, here I come! Can't complain though. Hurricanes, floods and twisters are far worse.

So glad that it was not worse.
Did you see the tornadoes in NH today. I will never forget a few years ago the hurricanes we had. It is so, so frightening.

You'd think so wouldn't you Judy..., but wait till a heavy wet snow takes down power line, collapses roofs, can't walk, drive, anything because of ice. We were without power for over two weeks because of an ice storm when Ricky was only 2 months old.

Judy, I saw a thing on cable TV one day about what IF a hurricane hit NYC. They say it is possible and could very well happen some day, and probably will. They modeled what the storm surge would do to the city, and the subway system would be flooded as well as a lot of other things.
YOU MAY BE GETTING OUT JUST IN TIME!!!!!!!!

We're also on a fault. An earthquake would, of course, do us in. The tall buildings aren't earthquake-proof in any way. I think they are windproof to a point. Janet, I'd still rather have snow and ice than a twister. At least I would know what to do during a power outage. It sure doesn't sound pleasant though.
