in natural disaster country anymore. I'd still take an earthquake once
every hundred years, good thing I don't live in earthquake country
either.

I don't live in natural disaster country either, but last night we had
our first tornado warning in my memory. I haven't seen a storm like that
in a *looooong* time. The whole sky was lit up almost continuously with
lightning and there was a torrential downpour.
A lot of folks lost power; it wasn't pretty. I shut down the pc and
pulled the phone line from the dsl modem. Lost the satellite TV a few
times as well (and there is a new 3 head dish up there with signal
strengths 50% higher than when the system was first installed, but still
lost the signal).
It is overcast now and hasn't rained in over 12 hours. Still quite a bit
of standing water in the street.
Best regards from Rochester, NY

That storm sounds like afternoon time in Tampa Bay during summer. Next
time we have a super light show I'll take some pics.
Glad everything is A-ok up that-a-way. The weather here has been Heaven
sent, lately. The breeze off the water has stuck around much longer than
any have anticipated. The Kingfish are slamming just about everything
you toss at them, the Gag Grouper are on the rocky bottoms, and the
Cobia are sloshing through the beach areas with stingrays on their
backs. A little bit of chum and the bullsharks are in a frenzy, but
nothing beats watching the Clownfish roll over each other.
