Hehe, exactly. It IS, however, punishment for choosing to live in an area that is frequently threatened by hurricanes. Give it enough time, you're GONNA get hit.

Then again, I have yet to find an area in the US that is free from all types of hazards. We get hurricanes, the west coast gets earthquakes and mudslides, the middle gets tornadoes, the north gets blizzards and ice storms. Hawaii gets volcanoes and tsunamis, and Alaska is too freaking cold to even think about. At least with a hurricane there is plenty of warning to get the hell outta the way before it's upon you. Earthquake and tornado victims get no such luxury.
