Well Scavs your welcome down here next time we get a hurricane....it's a blast !

Oh wait, might have another disaster in the works...Mississippi River is 2 feet below the levees and still rising...129 bays open on the spillway diverting the river and water still coming up. Sorry strike that you don't like floods..

On one side I can understand your fascination, there are lots of disaster tourists. Then there are the disaster junkies, I didn't know about them until Katrina, they come as "first responders" many create more chaos and then for some reason never leave, or leave in the middle of something to go to another disaster. There's a group of people that are always ready to deploy, it's strange, not talking about the true first responders, firemen, law enforcement, medical teams, red cross etc., just disaster junkies, especially the animal rights freaks.

But I don't see you as one of the latter, you wouldn't have computer service so no bettting, no forum, you would go into withdrawal.....

Maybe you should go be a disaster tourist, it would seriously alter your life. Be careful though not to be too excited while it's happening, people that live in the disaster zone don't appreciate disaster tourists. It's one thing to come in and see and be able to return to the normalcy of your life, but when you have to live it and know life will never be the same people get very edgy. Best be locked and loaded.

Like I said been there done that and NEVER want to do it again but if your really interested hurricane season is just a month and a 1/2 away, tornados, 100 mph wind, it's thrilling...let me know if you want to come see a disaster, we can hook you up....
