Whether it’s tornadoes or dangerous animals, it’s just human nature for long familiarity to dull a sense of fear and self-preservation.
I was living in Fort Wayne,IN back in the early 80's when the big flood hit. The one that President Reagan showed up to work the sandbag line with the high school kids. All during that flood, something deep inside of me, kind of wanted to see the flood waters get higher...just to see what would happen? I was in my 20's at the time and didn't have a good grasp of the human suffering that goes along with a destructive event like that.
