When you hear the weather report that a hurricane is headed your way, do you buckle down and brace for the worst possible outcome? Do you worry that your family won't survive? Do you automatically head out of town to stay with relatives? Or, stay put? Whenever I hear that a hurricane is heading our way, I know there's going to be lots of rains and bad weather. Most times the hurricane weather is so bad that you can't even get online. And, some places locally have rivers filled to capacity and flooded streets. Then you're lucky if you thought ahead to stock up on food necessities, because you can't drive through flooded streets safely. Sometimes by the time we find out that a hurricane is going to hit our little city, it's too late to evacuate so we have to sit tight and wait it out. Most times we are fortunate enough to by-pass the worst of the hurricane weather with only minor damage to our property, but some of our neighbors to the east have not been so lucky. One friend had a tree fall onto her home and demolish it. Even though everyone got out just fine, their lives were never the same. They are all so lucky to be alive, even if they only left with a handful of belongings. Since we live in hurricane central, watching and waiting is one of our main past times. You never know when the big one is going to hit or how much damage it is going to do. Certainly, there are some tense moments during hurricane season. So, what do you do when you hear bad weather is coming your way? Do you fear the worst?
