Not fully mate we do prefer familiarity whether we intend it or not. It's how survival is so it calls to us, but yeah. Hope you don't think I'm fake, or a dickhead or any other shit that's going on tonight though, damn

That's funny. Living in both Halibuts and Teads neck of the woods, they both suck. listening to Sitka spruce explode from bending too much while hunkered down in a cabin made in the 1800s is frightening. Being without power in any of the Gulf states for more than a week sucks pretty hard too. Ever drink out of you bathtub?Amateurs.
If you don't have to collect your belongings from all the neighbor's back yards, it's not a storm.

Oops , double post and now I've got to fill this space with something...
The storms here make up in quality what they maybe lack in power. They usually max out at about 70 mph, with a few reaching hurricane speeds but nobody calls those ones hurricanes. But they also tend to march in one after another every three days for much of the winter, with quite a few in spring summer and fall as well. The occasional roof flies off, and trees blow down. Boats that are out keep a close eye on the weather and an ear to the radio.
We're in a completely different setting as well. Most people here live one step closer to the bush, and are set up reasonably well to manage without electricity. So there's none of that urban chaos that usually descends when cities look up and notice nature intruding on the finely tuned system.
We don't leave stuff lying around our yard much that isn't tied down. And if it did blow to my nearest neighbours place it would have to travel a few miles to get there.
I don't know what Katrina was like in the physical sense of- windiness. Probably like storms here but stronger. But in the social sense that sort of storm, besides being stronger, is a really different (and way more horrible by all accounts) animal because of its location.
Here, storms are kind of fun. But then they're not deadly most of the time.
They're not hurricanes but they're still real, in the sense that if you were zipping down the highway, in a pissing rainstorm, and climbed up on the roof of the car and yelled 'this isn't real!' -any lip readers in the vicinity would think you were full of shit, if they could read lips that were stretched out that tight.
Of course, the debris angle is much more severe in a dense urban environment. You should see what a roof tile flying at 100mph will do.
