Some of our media are reporting that the omens are there for a hurricane season in the Atlantic at least as bad, if not worse, than last year. For those of us who are well out of the way of these storms, let us at least say a few prayers that the predictions are wrong.

It's those Muslims we have in Canada, bet they are behind it all.

My grandmother says these things never happened before we put men on the moon. It's all NASA's fault.

She's probably right, things were quieter then discounting two world wars lol
Well I don't know about being out of the way. We sure are not here in Nova Scotia ruby
I'm way far out of the way of hurricanes. :)
Just goes to prove, you can't ever get too comfortable where nature is concerned.

Yah, but Karen...you're going to slide into the ocean one of these days! None of us are ever completely safe from the forces of nature!

I'm feeling pretty safe here in Alberta...no hurricanes, no earthquakes, the odd tornado (only 2 deadly in memory), few floods...but I guess there are blizzards some years...still, I'm feeling quite out of the way.
All I can say is.............................get your guest rooms ready if you are in easy reach of me !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The city is still 75% destroyed, and I don't care what anybody says, there is no way the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers can have the levees properly fixed by the start of the hurricane season.
So ........ now that DH is retired and we have the free time, if a hurricane (or even a severe tropical storm) comes into the Gulf of Mexico this year - we'll pop a couple of suitcases in the car and drive for a couple of hours or so.

Nope. I'm on the inland side of the fault line. In 50 years, I'll own oceanfront property. :)
Well remember -- I'm up here in Shreveport, and have two guest rooms available....
And you think property values are outrageous now...
I was really amazed at California property values! We had a couple from Cupertino (?sp) stay with us recently . They are putting the home in which they have lived for 30-35 years on the market. They are both retired schoolteachers. They bought it for $30,000, and expect to get between 1.1-1.2 MILLION dollars for it!!
Gillian Central Florida, where it is raining....the first time in nearly a couple of months!!
LOL...start saving for your yacht! :)

Yeah, but you can get typhoons (isn't it hurricanes on the east and typhoons on the west?), right? And earthquakes. I'm probably about as far away from any of those, being in the center of the continent!!!! Guess I'm the safest one of all, neener-neener-neener!!!! :)
That said, I will send up a few calming prayers for the rest of you...
Joan
I'm awfully far north and far inland for typhoons to get me, and if you look at the earthquake map, I'm in that area without fault lines. :)

We had rain all day yesterday, which is badly needed - we`re in drought conditions here, believe it or not!

I'm really sorry to sound like doom and gloom Karen, but we said that where I live as well. Then we got hit with one hurricane after the other, all of which created major problems. You really never can be 100% sure of anything.
Right now we're in a major drought condition, with brush fires all around us, but they are predicting rainstorms this afternoon and according to Gill it's raining where she lives and that isn't that far from me. I hope, I hope, I hope.
