Hurricane Season is Upon Us

[amat]

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

That woulda helped. Still, I can't imagine any travelers who were unfortunate enough to get caught in one.

Sometimes I wonder If it would be Better (mentally) without all of the Technology and Dopler tracking BS......You want histeria,Go to any "Big" store once a Hurricane is tracked for your area.People go absolutley insane and delerious with fear/Panic .I get to the point of almost laughing as people almost come to blows over the last pack of DD batteries or Case of water & tank of gas.Local TV,The radio,webcast....the watching inch by inch,minute by minute of the orange and red images can take a toll bigtime.I get to the point of turning it all off except for on the hour 2 minute updates and off it goes again.Not a damn thing I can do about where it is going or when it hits.......Just having my head on straight,being geared up and knowing where I am going,because those nasty B!!!ches are unpredictable,unyeilding and coming.
