I too enjoy the extreme weather. I was all about Sandy hitting till the wind got right up against us, and that was nerve racking.
I remember the 1994 Ice capades. I remember the power out for 24 hrs, and my Mom getting nervous.
I don't think anyone wants the worst case scenario right on their door, but it's nature. It's gonna do what it wants when it wants like it or not. Got to be ready.
