    Nell, one thing I learned early on with this group is that any misspoken word is like a blood letting in a pool full of piranha. Like crocodiles along the opposite side of the river. "That's it, Mr. Survavlist, come on in the water. Closer, closer. You're doin' fine. What's that you say? (Theme from Jaws begins).

    Everything I have posted is pure fantasy. I have not done any of the things that I have claimed to have done in my posts. I actually live in Detroit.

    Just a couple of cyclones and a tornado in the late 50's ( Missouri), a remnants of a small hurricane in Calif 1960, a typhoon in SEA in 1969, The big Mississippi River Flood in 1973 (Missouri). No family members injured, but a lot of buildings damaged. Enough excitement that I am not looking for a repeat

    I have had close calls with several tornados, but nothing more than lost power for a day. Also had the flood of 1993 in Iowa. We lost water for a week and half on that one. Then there was a noreaster that took out power for almost a day. Some were without power for over a week though. I have been lucky to not have any person harmed or property damaged.

    Every winter we have storms worse than most hurricanes. Sustained 90mph winds with gusts to 140mph.

    So, yeah, I've survived but my greenhouses never do.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    You do know that's God's way of telling you not to live there, right?
