It's whatever you are used ...It's so funny. It's whatever you are used to. I grew up in CA so earthquakes don't phase me. Well, of course, if there was a really big one, I'd be freaked out. But, I remember waking up in the middle of the night to the house moving. I'd fall back asleep and find out there was an earthquake the next morning. Extreme weather always scares me. It's because I didn't grow up with it. It's all that you know.

Thank you. And what's...Hey there <b>Chrissy Girl</b>~<br /><br />Thank you. And what's totally ironic is that I'm deathly afraid of HEIGHTS - HA!<br /><br />" I'm trying not to read too much into this crazy weather. You know, like the apocalypse or anything."<br /><br />I know. I just keep telling myself that it's just the natural cycle of evolution and that the crazy weather is part of it. I think eventually places Florida will have four seasons and places like here will eventually have TWO seasons - HOT and COLD!<br /><br />"I did just see on the news, though, that one of the upcoming hurricanes should be hitting the gulf coast of FLA mid week just about the time I'm heading there. Pray for a change of direction!"<br /><br />Don't worry, because those Florida hurricanes can change direction over a period of hours. However, I just don't want it coming in THIS direction - HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by!

I still miss my Jerry who I lost back in 2001, so I know how you feel.<br /><br />(((((( Jay )))))<br /><br />"But I know how much chaos this not-so-lovely Irene has caused, and NOBODY is going to affectionately call her Renie, are they? I'm glad you escaped with only a little water damage."<br /><br />HA! You're so right. Parts of the east coast were hit VERY bad with flooding, especially sections of New Jersey and Vermont. So sad. Philadelphia was spared a lot of damage and power outages.<br /><br />Thank you, dear lady. Glad you enjoyed the photos. I like the umbrella one too. I took that the day after the hurricane.<br /><br />Always so nice to see you, Jay!

I miss her so much. It would never have crossed her mind to cause so much damage (just supposing she could) and I kind of resent the hurricane being given her name.<br /><br />But I know how much chaos this not-so-lovely Irene has caused, and NOBODY is going to affectionately call her Renie, are they?

But like with any city, it does have it's 'less appealing' areas.<br /><br />"Being from the Midwest I've never experienced either a hurricane or an earthquake."<br /><br />OMG...LUCKY you!!!!! Other than severe snow storms during the winter months, I've never heard anything about Midwest having CRAZY weather like we do here on the east coast.<br /><br />Thanks oodles for stopping by, my dear friend! Always a highlight in my day! Have a lovely week!<br /><br />(((( TJ )))))<br /><br />XRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.com
