MEEEEEOW!
Can't we all just get along here? Why quibble at all?
Bottom line: Hurricanes are scary, be they a 1, a 3 or a 5 when they hit land. For those of you over in the UK who have never experienced one, be thankful. The damage they can cause is unreal. All this time later, the suicide rate in the Gulf of Mexico is rising higher and higher due to post traumatic stress.
Personally, living in Massachusetts, we only get hit with them once every 30-60 years, and then they usually are just pretty heavy wind storms. For us the most damage comes from the tidal surges, which erodes the shoreline, takes houses with it, and floods low-lying areas.
By the way, I'm not a mod, but I DO know that personal attacks are against the rules here at TCS, and most of us TCS members would REALLY appreciate it if posts made here (or anywhere on TCS for that matter) could be made less personally derisive.
