ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady Didn't anyone tell you not to try to go out in hurricanes and tornadoes? The winds can kill ya! Errr... I'll bring my point of view so you can have a bit of an idea... "Every severe storm theres been here.. I've been out in it, hands numb, clothes wet, wind blowing my head off, why? if things are blowing off the house or rains getting in somewhere, OR a tree has blown down on a fence, garage flooding, drainage is blocked, dogs got out, hailing on the car (you get the idea)... Guess what, guy goes out in the storm... So after a while it doesn't bother you and between everything going to hell around you, you begin to appreciate it theres something in the air, figuratively and literally haha, theres a peace in the noise and rain, something that having an appropriately robust raincoat definitely helps you to appreciate. Theres solitude out there, and self, I imagine it's what meditation is like... So, while to the observer it may look like I'm not having fun whilst tying a tarp down for the fifth time and yelling "FUCKkkkkk" to the sky... In between those moments, there is something. ...worth the trouble. So my advice is go out in the hurricane, if your hardy enough, the beauty and power of nature can be breathtaking.
