That's okay, Ron, I had no idea either. I thought it was one of those "I look for someone!" type threads.

Amusing my literatti muse, I predict Stanley finishes off New Orleans, in true Tennessee Williams fashion.

OTOH, it is not really a General Playa del Carmen post until it gets a bit more specific to Playa. Not nice to scare the masses till there is more solid information - you know, Stanley could peter out.

Portland OR has never had a hurricane or a tornado.

There are rumors of volcanos and earthquakes, though. If you need heat and humidity, it is not the place for you. We have both, but not at the same time.

As I said before, an expert on NPR designated inland Connecticut as "the safest part of the country from natural disaster."
It does not seem to have started any sort of stampede up this way, though.

Hmmmmmm.....In my 21 years

(I can't believe I stayed there!) living in Suffield Connecticut, I witnessed plenty of tornado damage, ice storms, blizzards with wind chill factors of -65F and TWO freakin' hurricanes! Saw the eye of each of these mothers pass directly over my house! Also lived through sweltering, humid days with temperatures WELL over 100F and mosquitos at night like you see in an "OFF" commerical. Yah-yah...I KNOW that the last two aren't natural disasters....just personal annoyances. I'll risk living in Tampa.

Goodness! That is way worse than living here is Saskatchewan!

No hurricanes, hardly ever a tornado (and when we do get the rare one it usually is nowhere near a populated area; wide open spaces and all) and we don't usually even get that much snow, usually! Dangerous wind chills in winter, that is about it.

To clarify, the exact location was pinpointed as Storrs, CT, home of the University of Connecticut. East of Joanie's old stomping grounds, and my current ones.
I happen to live on the southern edge of CT's tornado alley, such as it is. Mostly high winds, tho' couple of years ago, we did actually grab the kids and seek shelter in our basement. Ex - cite - ment!
