Hurricane Season is Upon Us

[Trainer Monkey]

A year of living in Jacksonville FL has given me a very healthy hatred of hurricanes

I have friends of the family that stay down there. They've had to evacuate several times. I believe I'd either have to leave early, or just board up my home and ride it out, because I couldn't stand having to drive bumper to bumper, and it takes hours just to get through one town.

The problem with those buggers is they veer,and suddenly,so you cant just blow out every time.
But two weeks of getting the duct tape off your windows,having to move all the beds away from the windows,and having one of the exits from your semi-gated community blocked by a downed tree,will great your nerves

It's not as bad up here in Georgia. We catch a lot of rain sometimes, but we don't have to evacuate.

I used to live in Norfolk, Virginia for a few years as a very young kid and I remember when our house got boarded up in preparation for a hurricane. I forget the name at the moment but it was a very famous hurricane that at the last minute, veered away from us and hit North Carolina. It was like 94 or 95 if anyone remembers the name I can't believe I'm blanking it out. It was pretty scary, my first real weather scare but nothing compared to the storms and tornadoes in Kentucky. We did get hit with one hurricane but only my dad was affected, the rest of us were in California visiting family. Still, it's scary stuff.

From june to november is the hurricane (super typhoon) season in the Philippines. It sucks when you don't have a generator.

I can't imagine the old days when they didn't have technology and satellites to help see hurricanes coming. I imagine it must've killed them by the thousands.

...people avoided them by being smart enough to not build houses right on the beach
