Let Me Feel The Sound and Fury  I lived in Key West when Hurricane Andrew blew by at 220 mph wind force. It was a Cat 5 and scary as hell. Of course I acted as if it was no big deal and walked out of a local bar at sunrise not knowing the devastation we missed. Hugo hit Charlotte a few years before as a Cat 2, and I was partying in a field having a Lieutenant Dan moment in rain gear. Yeah, well I decided I wanted no part of hurricanes anymore when I moved to the mountains. Here I am back in a hurricane zone, and not happy about it. I am in awe of, and equally terrified of mother nature. She is an amazing force, that will whip your ass with no regard to your life. Hurricane Ian landed here on Friday afternoon. I sat and watched the ocean as it grew more and more pissed off. From my balcony, I could hear and feel the fury it was unleashing on the sand as well. The hound just hid under the dining room table Yeah, this is paradise, it has a price, and it is a big ass hurricane. When it breached the dunes, I just sat and watched from my balcony, because we are on a higher level. At that point, there is nothing to do, but conceive what you will do if the worst happens. If it doesn't, then everything is good. I had food, my dog, and a safe perch. 80 mph wind seems tame compared to 220, just sayin. Sure the trees start breaking, and power goes out - However, 80 is a bad storm, a little scary but not terrifying....But that water...it is a power giant. The eye passed over. That eerie fucking eye, it gives you hope that its all over. The sun comes out and the wind stills. You think all is good, and then you see the back end of the hurricane coming in the horizon. It is dark and foreboding. As it should be. The reality is it usually packs a punch. This one did not. Needless to say, the hound and I are still here. I keep asking myself if its worth it. I get a call from Mom, the reason I am here... The alien is still alive and well, stranded in a hurricane zone...Joy Song for this post Hurricanes - Dido |

I wanna wake up With your weight by my side And I wanna think that You look good as you rise And I wanna turn to you Turn around by your side And I wanna think But not to say Let me face The sound and fury Let me face Hurricanes And I wanna see you As you walk through the door And time will make us Some ways less and some ways more And I wanna talk of nothing As the world passes by And I wanna think But not to say Let me face The sound and fury Let me face Hurricanes Let me not turn away From happiness or pain Just not to run away In my heart and in my head Let me face Hurricanes Hurricanes Hurricanes Hurricanes Hurricanes Hurricanes Let me face The sound and fury Let me face Hurricanes Let me face The sound and fury Let me face Hurricanes Hurricanes Hurricanes Hurricanes

I'll take the blizzards in the North over hurricanes in the South.

I agree with Ron and so does my mother. She always said she'd take an earthquake now and then over a hurricane or tornado. We and her father were all born in California, all fairly close to the San Andreas fault and been in several earthquakes that made the national (likely international) news but never close enough to be injured or more than minor property damage.

That sounds like such and intense ordeal. It doesn’t matter where you go, indeed Mother Nature is everywhere and constantly reminding you of her capabilities. She is the Ultimate bitch in charge, and her major Earthquakes are so damn scary. Glad your okay.

Mother nature is the truest of Dominants. She forces you out of your comfort zone, then holds you down by your neck an when she lets you go you hear her say she will be back. There is no place in this world she won't find you. She has taught me I don't belong in the Outer Banks.

Hurricanes are so powerful, they should still be named only after women’s names…but I guess that’s just a little too old school. Song. Rock you like a hurricane by the Scorps.

I'm glad you're ok. Mother nature is very powerful especially when she's pissed off. I've lived all over the US and there is no where in teh US that mother nature isn't cruel. The west coast has earthquakes and the climate for devastating fires, the midwest is tornado alley not to mention the frozen tundra. The south east and mid Atlantic has hurricanes and the north east is teh other frozen tundra with long winters. That being said as bad as tornados, hurricanes, and blizzards are, they are at least predictable so one can prepare, if not evacuate. An earthquake isn't, it comes without warning and can be equally devastating.

the fury of Mother Nature truly leaves you in awe of her power & what she can do...hurricanes typhoon tsunami earthquake tornado blizzards etc. we must respect her & stay clear of where she visits frequently!

Aye! Mother nature is a force to reckon with.
| ||

I was lucky to be away as the eye passed over my house on the east coast. There is nothing like Mother Nature when she's raging!

It's not nice to mess with mother nature - hands down best retro commercial ever

Glad to hear you are ok. Here in the Orlando area, we had flooding; I was able to move my car out of the water before it got too deep. Some of my neighbors were not so luck. I lost power Thursday morning and it's still down. Luckily, my office system is still up and running so I can remain in touch with the outside world.

I worked above Rum Runners just down from Sloppy's. Met Jimmy Buffett one time in Capt. Hornblowers. He bought me a drink  Also knew Mel, famously known for finding shipwrecks. The Keys are a different kind of place.Squalls are no joke, but tame in comparison to the mass size of a hurricane fo sure My fave Jimmy Buffett - Gods Own Drunk xx

Mother nature certainly is impressive. All these storms & earthquakes make me glad I live in the UK, where the weather is a lot less dramatic. Still pisses me off when we get a storm that takes out my fence in the back garden though. Goodness knows how you feel if it takes out your house.
