I've never been in a snow storm that flipped a car! :) That sounds very scary to me... Hehe.

I lived in Guam, Okinawa, Saipan. All of which get hit several times a year by typhoons (Pacific version of hurricanes). A few cars might get overturned, banana trees blow over, and a few roofs may come off but that's about it. Of course the buildings are concrete or cinder block, and people aren't foolish enough to go for a walk in the eye of the storm etc.. -----Original Message----- From: Jillian Koskie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 10:21 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: hurricanes suck The thing you need to remember... Is that in Saskatchewan we are -used- to blizzards. When people in other parts of the world are freaking out over ice storms and -40C weather... We just put on another scarf and let our cars warm up for a little longer. I don't recall a single time in he 29 years I've been on the planet that we've had a 'closed due to weather day' for schools or businesses. Because we are a fair ways from any really significant water, we have very dry winters... So not the same problems with ice and fog that you see on the coasts or in Ontario near the great lakes. Saskatchewan... One of the few places on the planet that sees -40C and +40. NOW... I didn't say -40C was enjoyable... :) -- Jillian -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 11:09 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: hurricanes suck A lot of people complain about living in mid-western Canada (I am in Saskatchewan)... But I'm starting to think it's really among the better places in the world to live. We're not far from the Rocky Mountains... So there is some escape from this flat... (did I mention flat?) horizon --but the real benefit is that there are really no natural disasters to speak of. Not a tornado, a hurricane, a tsunami or an earthquake... Not even so much as a volcano to overflow with lava. Feeling rather safe, Jillian Well, I don't know about "NO" natural disasters. I've lived in Montana, just south of you. And I know that nature can quickly and with authority serve up a Blizzard in that part of the world that will match any tornado you care to mention for overall damage. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
