Gordon,

I guess those who have suffered from the Hurricanes can't fathom anything
worse.  I remember my days as a member of an Air Force Family in Minot North
Dakota... that was the closest to those kind of temps that I have ever
experienced and I never ... EVER want to deal with that one again myself.

We have to deal with tornadoes... we have already had more than our share of
them this year and tornado season does not officially start until the 22nd of
this month.

It matters not where you live... you just deal with what the earth gives you...
everywhere has pluses and minuses... and thank goodness the human spirt can
adapt.
