We don't have snow, not too much rain, mild yea round. Maybe your opinion in BA weather sucks.
Were you around to live through the quake of 89?

You are trippin. I have only lived the the BA since 97. Before that I lived in Tennessee and Nebraska.
I would take a hurricane or a Tornado any day of the week over an earthquake. The idea of an earthquake scares the **** out of me. Ask my wife. The first little 4. something we felt up in Santa Rosa a couple years ago. I was up and running out of the house. My wife just sat on the couch and kept watching tv. She started to laugh at me. She has lived in the BA her whole life so it didnt even phase her. I was trippin man.
However a hurricane you know when that is coming, and a tornado you usally at least get a warming. I bet I have been through close to 100 tornados all the years I lived in Nebraska. And I lived in Florida during hurricane Andrew.
If you guys had a tornado here you guys would be trippin like I do over an earthquake.
Tornados are a trip too, they can do some crazy ****. When i was about 5 years old, there was a big tornado that came down the street. It knocked over all 3 houses behind my parents house, Both houses on each side, and all 3 across the street. It didnt even knock my bicycle over that I left in the driveway when I heard the sirens. Its a trip man
I have also seen pieces of straw put through the sides of cars that were sheet metal. Almost like they were little arrows. I have seen one pull a 200 year old oak tree up and replant them 300 feet away. Shoved it in the ground so hard it looked like it had been there its whole life.
My parents live in Miami. They were there during Katrina too. My wife and I were on a cruise in Europe. When we came back trees were snapped, **** was flooded. My neighbor had a dead alligator in his pool. It got in his pool for safety and a palm tree snapped and landed in his pool and killed the Gator.
Another guy down the street was getting a pool installed. A tornado picked his pool up and threw it in a palm tree down the street. SO some guy had a big *** pool hanging from his palm and the palm was bent all the way over and the top was touching the ground and it didnt snap.
Thats the thing about a hurricane. Most of the damage comes from the bagillion tornados that happen during it.
