Despite all the horrors of 2020, those are still etched in my mind. Terrible to bear witness to, even worse to experience. Stay safe.

tony b Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 All natural disasters are horrific to those both directly and indirectly affected. The really bad ones, tornadoes and the derecho like we had here last August, is that you don't get a lot of warning that they are imminent (minutes to maybe an hour!) With others, like hurricanes, wild fires and flooding, you have some time to pack up and evacuate - assuming folks chose to do so. Doesn't make them any better, but at least they give you a better chance at survival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Makes you realize how small and vulnerable you really are in the big picture of things. Take some consolation in that were all in this together and your best action is to lend a hand in anyway you can because you might need that hand tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
