No hurricanes this year came to our shores. No pushing and shoving in line to buy supplies that were plentiful just a short time before, begging to be purchased. No worried looks from customers wondering how to get ready for the strong winds and rain soon to come.
How to do this, how to do that? Who knew a hurricane was coming?
The disappointed looks from the Weather Channel forecasters as they through up their hands and say nothing is happening out there. There were some signs that something might happen again and again, only to be rebuffed northward to fizzle out once more. The official end of the hurricane season is still six weeks away, but we know it is over, the fat lady has sung her last note and the annual anxiety is put to rest once again.
The same people that panic and are always unprepared for the worst will be back next year, forgetful of past years turmoil.
While it lasts, let's enjoy the peace and quiet.

Yes, the Weather Channel folks must be terribly disappointed. I suspect that for them, weather events are better than sex. Glad you didn't have to contend with any of that this year--God knows you've already had your share of that turmoil!

The Weather Channel will have to concentrate on the wind, ice, and snow. which we have a very short supply.
It must be unusual for there to be no hurricane. What will they talk about then?

Our country is pretty big, so something is always happening. They actually do a very good job, and when there is a storm coming at us, we do watch 24/7!
How anybody living in Florida could NOT know how to prepare is scary.
Kind of, don't move there unless you are prepared to evacuate, board up, or seek sturdy shelters put up by others.
(Topiary extremely glad it has been a quiet year)
I think I read somewhere, it's woman, children, and cows first!
