living in Mass.~~monumental historical blizzards (like '78). and howling Nor-Easters. ocean gone wild. fishing boats lost at sea. (see 'The Perfect Storm')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
living in Fla.~~lost count of the hurricanes. flooded streets with live power lines down, tornado took roof off house next door. shrieking banshee winds, no power for days in relentless heat, sheer terror. trees coming down and threatening homes. boats thrown onto US1.
AND, if you were stuck on one of the bridges, you and your car could be swept over at any moment, into the ocean.
extra added bonus, if you had a Keys resident sticker on car, you could line up on the only road entering Keys for a couple days at a dead stop in torturous heat. with people shooting at each other from total misery and frustration. trying to get back in to see if home still there.
