... keep him and his wife Yolanda in your thoughts and prayers. I don't think they got a direct hit, but it's ugly all the same.

Detroit? No thanks I feel much, much safer here in Olongapo City.
On the plus side we don't have tornadoes or hail storms, to top that off no snow. What more could you ask for? ![]() -------------------- Chris

QUOTE(chrisretusn @ Oct 3 2006, 01:04 AM) That's like So. CA, though there are occasional hail storms near the San Bernardino mountains. Decades pass between times when hail falls near the coast. Earthquakes aren't all that bad compared to hurricanes and tornadoes, IMO. The structure around you may collapse (in the worst-case scenario) but all possessions are with you in the rubble if you've survived and inclement weather doesn't accompany the shaking. ![]() Hmmm. It's been awhile since anything shook here. I think we're overdue. -------------------- A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. ▪ Erin Majors

Reviewing the articles that Chris pointed toward earlier are a reminder to myself that in Montreal, we are relatively immune to nature's more destructive influences. The worst we had recently was the freezing rain "ice storm" of '98, but that doesn't compare to having a volcano erupt on the same day as a typhoon hitting the same area. It certainly is a reminder to us all that we aren't safe anywhere in the world.

Feeling safe is just a combination of self-delusion and the good luck not to have had the unthinkable 'strike home' yet.
