Not only does the storm itself stink, it's the aftermath.

Only a fool complains that they don't have to boil their water, have no power, pain in the butt to get simple groceries, getting around, etc.

The aftermath of a hurricane is like living in a 3rd world country. It's not "exciting" or fun.

You're right. Even though it took me 5 hours to get home on I4 (usually 1.5 hours with traffic), I consider myself lucky. When I got home, I had power, water, phone, etc, which I know are things that a great many people don't have access to.

Listening to on the drive back, you heard a wide range of reactions to the disaster in Central Florida. The hardest part for some people to understand is that even though you might not see the phone/power people on your street, that doesn't mean _nothing_ is happening. While frustrating, that's why you are supposed to have your supplies set up ahead of time.
