And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A serious blow on St. Maartin down in the Caribbean
And people in California worry about earthquakes….
My sister's son Tim lives in central Florida (Kissimmee) and being young & indestructible (he's 24) he is staying there, though his mother lives in N. Texas and has offered to pay for his airline ticket out.
I wouldn't want to be there just because of the probability of power failure. Being stuck in Florida with bugs, heat, humidity and no A/C isn't something on my Bucket List!
I've had some experiences with tornadoes Down Under, and the high winds can pick up bits of trash & suddenly they become deadly instruments of destruction. A piece of metal from a roof, picked up & flying at 100+ mph, can slice right through a refrigerator!
Now I've seen some of the destruction that Irma has left in her wake, and I'm really beginning to worry about Tim. I'm praying for him, and everyone in the path of that thing, that's for sure!
You need a home constructed of reinforced concrete and a solid metal roof. And even then?
