Years ago, shortly after the Loma Prieta quake, I read an article about some poor sap who’d been run over by hurricane Hugo in North Carolina then moved to San Jose just in time for Loma Prieta.
He said he liked hurricanes better than earthquakes because they give you time to pack.
Neither earthquakes nor hurricanes truly scare me. If you have built in a sane manner (apparently no one in Florida does that) you are going to be okay, probably.
Fire, however, scares the shit out of me. I’ve evacuated in front of two wildfires, and know plenty of people who were burnt out. I never want to experience that again.
The title of this thread will become temporarily inaccurate starting on January 1st.I wonder how much of an outcry there would really be if Porn was shut down in Florida permanently?
I once rode out a severe storm in the North Atlantic on a submarine in conditions that were unofficially classified as sea state 9. We were supposed to go to periscope depth during the storm but were already doing 15-20 degree rolls 250 feet below the surface so we abandoned the effort.
When we were deeper than that the only way we even knew there was a storm was from the sonar operators reporting the noise on the surface.
The key is make sure the total number of surfacings match the number of dives.
