Amen!

Let me give you a little reality check. I was sitting on a firnds boat
last month at a marina on the Columbia River at Boardman, OR Yes, that
is correct Board-man Oregon. There is also a Boring Oregon too.

The power plant two miles away recorded a 114 mph gust. They dont call
that a hurricane around there. Jsut another very windy day in the PNW.

Dont belive me......... google it.


It ain't the same. A "gust" is not the same as 12 to 20 hours of
pounding wind, pushing up a 25-30 foot storm surge, $100,000,000,000
in property damage, 2-6 weeks without power and the opportunity to
live in a FEMA trailer for a year or two while you determine that your
insurance is not going to cover and you try to decide what to do next.

Camille to Katrina, many in between, and pretty much tired of it all.
