As they say, be very careful what you wish for. As someones sig says that what hi-def tv is for...


Hope all are fine in the earthquake area.....would be devasting especially right now if it affected the Mississippi River. Strange it wasn't the New Madrid, hope it's not a pre-cursor of what may come.
The fault that was affected was the ending tip of the New Matrid, why it has its own name, I don't know.

I understand what you are saying, and especially because you were effected by the N.O. floods. Floods are probably the one I would rather not deal with, but I personally, would love to experience an encounter with a tornado or hurricane, obviously in 'somewhat' controlled settings.

I think it is different if you KNOW what you are getting involved in, compared to NOT knowing what to expect. I know that if I go chasing a damn tornado that one it is going to be real wild and 2) I would have the small chance of losing my life.

I could lose my life driving to work tomorrow, or sleeping tonight, and I am the type that wants to experience things first hand so I can make my own opinions. Kinda like how when your dad tells you that the pan is hot but you still grab it. That is how I operate. While I consider people's opinions, I would rather gain the experience so then form my own opinions. Now, I will readily admit that this way of doing things, 1) is pretty stubborn and 2) can get you in trouble. But at least I know when I am talking about something, it is from experience, and not 3rd person.
