For me I’ve lived my entire life under the threat of Flash Floods and Earthquakes. The deserts of Southern California don’t rain much, but every time it does you know power is going out somewhere. (I’m told the power companies actually figured out it’s cheaper to not put in better and more storm resistant equipment than to repair it each time it breaks. Odd…)
Rains and Floods you can kind of predict, but earthquakes? That freaks folks out. A hurricane you KNEW was coming. I mean how long did we hear about Ike before it hit? So at least you had time to plan and think about it. (Though for some that time just lead to dread.) Earthquakes just happen and you’d better be ready or you’re screwed.
All in all though it sounds like you handled your own personal crisis (80 Degrees, PFFT talk to me when you handle 120+ with no AC.) rather well and in your own ways. Here’s hoping everyone else gets through their own troubles during this crisis.
