I live in earthquake country, so maybe I am not one to talk about natural disasters. But with a quake you get 45 seconds of rocking and rolling and then it is like WHOA DUDE!
Hurricanes, that's another trip altogether. Ten feet of water coming through your front window, your Benz gets blown over to the next county (or it floats there) and your neighbor's palm trees ends up in your upstairs bedroom.
I lived in Cuba (major hurricane magnet) and South Florida (major, major hurricane magnet) and I gotta tell you.
I'll take one strong quake every ten years or so (or even the potential tsunami) over 3 or 4 hurricanes per year.
Having said that, and being serious now, I feel bad for the loss of life and property. Hope all returns to normal and sunny real soon.
Good luck you guys.
