Our hurricanes are called cyclones down our way and it is very much the same psychological build up on the TV with relentless warnings when we lived in cyclone territory. Mostly it was a fizzer where we lived, thank goodness but it sure is an eerie atmosphere waiting for cyclones to hit. Glad to here that all is well and safe where you are @ginnyannette.
There is so much media hype. I have mixed feelings on it. It is good to get the point across that it is dangerous, but it's hyped up when it's nothing too, so hard to take the news seriously. Thank God for the internet.
Thankfully all is well on this coast.
