I am experiencing this "5 day cone" in the news, yeah yeah yeah hurricanes unlike earthquakes give warning.
Warning = Anxiety
Sorry, but hurricanes lose on this one. I embrace earthquakes with open arms.
This is the last straw for me. I now realize there is a possibility we will have to do this every year. Hurricane season from June to October, it is unreal.
I moved everything I own 2,000 miles into a hurricane zone, and now I am supposed to take what I can fit in my car and just drive til I am safe. 
Nobody will ride the storms out now because of all the Katrina damage. Not to mention I hear it sucks assholes to be in a hurricane.
I am from Los Angeles, this is shit they write into movies. However, reality has just struck me like a bolt of lightning.
Sweet California, I will be back soon. |
I could have written every word of that as my own story. Give me a good old fashioned L.A. earthquake anyday. (90% of the time you don't even know what it is until it's over) The other 10%? Well...
I rode out Katrina, Dennis and Rita here. I didn't move 2000 miles to run away from my home every few weeks.
When I told my ex I was moving here (The Redneck Rivera) for the cheap real estate her only response was "There's a
reason it's so cheap." She was right. Not to mention the humidity, the bugs, the snakes, the crocodiles, and most of all the Southern attitude, but that's another story.
Fuck it, six more weeks and I'm in Vegas permanently.
