And I am SOOO glad I’m no longer a Texican. My son lives in Arkansas, and I suspect he’ll get his share of it, too.
I have a sister in FL, and I have no clue how she handles all the hurricanes. It would drive me nuts to have to evacuate my home every few weeks, or even once a year.
I mean, how can you even have a normal life? What do you do with all your photos and documents and family heirlooms?
*shudder*
On 9/11, I was up to the wee small hours, trying to deal with it all over again, so I know the fatigue you feel.
I’ll take my chances with the ‘quakes.
You get no warning, but all that means is you don’t spend days and days anxiously watching updates to a storm track on the weather channel, and wondering how bad it’s gonna get.
With the shakers it’s just — BAM!! You rock and roll for a minute or two; stuff falls down, other stuff breaks, and then it’s over, and you’re either dead, or you’re not.
Our biggest problem with disasters here in California, is that the gun laws have made this place a Paradise for post-disaster looters.
You won’t see much of that in Texas; folks down there know that looting is a great way to get shot dead.
Not so California.
Looters out here get props from the Libs for “stickin’ it to da man.” They make folk heroes out of ‘em.
