In 2004 and 2005 my area was hit 4 times by hurricanes. 2 in a row in 2004, and then 2 seperated by a month or so in 2005.

I mean we never got hit by a cat 4 or 5, but wilma was a 3 when it passed over us and it was fucktard scary here. Lost power for a total of 1 month during the 2004 storms. I'm sure these are cakewalks compared to a cat 4, the difference between a cat 1-2 and a cat 3 was unbelievable.

We get hit by the most storms in Florida but still thousands of people move here ever year.

 

thats how major "win" for one person can turn out to be a major "lose" for another.
