It's the infrequency of killer hurricanes that is the biggest threat. Here in the Houston area, we've been brushed by a few in recent years, bringing a nice tropical mist but little else.

Hurrican Alicia was almost 25 years ago, and it wasn't huge when it landed. There are a lot of young adults here with no memory of that whatosever.

It's complacency, fueled by a lack of historical perspective, that is the killer. Floridians should be a little more attuned to it this year, but I wonder if anyone else is.

I was living in the Richmond area at the time. That was the first hurricane that scared me.
