Thanks but no thanks, I’ll stay here and deal with the hurricane season. They can keep their fires and earthquakes.
Compared to what Hurricane Ike did to Texas, our brush fires are nothing.
Google Ike's damage reports. It's brutal...700,000 Texan households in the 29-county disaster zone sought state or federal emergency relief. This is just the beginning of the damage.
Early hurricane damage estimates topped $31 billion, making Ike the third costliest hurricane in United States history.
36 dead, over 134 still missing, with thousands still without power. This storm was bad enough to cause 550 million in damage all the way up in Ohio. The Columbus Dispatch reported last week that damage totals from Ike's gusty winds may top $1 billion, making it the costliest storm in Ohio history.
In your region, this has the potential of occurring every season.
Good luck.
