A hurricane in not a catastrophy, it is a perfectly
natural and recuring process.


Way to split hairs over semantics - and still be wrong.


I think you are suffering from a thingie called cognitive
dissonance. Hurricanes are a fact of living anywhere close
to a coast. It is like living in a snow belt. There is
nothing you can do about preventing 2-foot dumps onto
your driveway. There is a lot you can do to plan for the
days you will be house-bound w.r.t. food, water, and
removing enough snow _after_ the storm stops so you can
get out and go to work.


Look up the definition of c a t a s t r o p h e and get back to me.
