Yeah Hurricanes suck. The only thing you usually have to worry about in the South is crazy humidity; tornadoes in the spring and fall and ice storms in the winter. Those events are usually isolated to certain sections of the South at a time. People are usually completely oblivious to how dangerous Hurricanes are in the South, especially once they get into the Gulf of Mexico. People forget that when you live in the South you are not far from the Gulf of Mexico. Even if you are hundreds of miles inland a Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico is still a potential danger to inland people because Hurricanes are hundreds of miles wide and once in the Gulf in those warm waters you have a big ass destructive freight train coming right at you: because once in warm Gulf waters every Hurricane speeds up to a Category 3, 4 or 5.
That seems like a lot of shyt to worry about.
