Oh here we go ... again, with the chidey-heidi drama. Staying inside,

because the winds are so high, metal trash can lids are airborne - and there just went part of a 2x4.  A block over, part of the street has almost a foot of water ... (on facebook) someone's car is floating - oh yikes, it just crunched up against a tree.   To evac or not, that is becoming the question.  But right now, the governor is urging people to stay in.  

Well duh! 

i know exactly in what direction heidi's post is going.  That place has nothing to do with dangerous weather - the sort of weather, where police, fire and medical personal actually risk limb and life by simply being outside - while most the city's people remain (somewhat safely) inside, hoping the roof holds.  

Storms are known to trash entire communities.  But staying reasonably safe during a storm doesn't require you to needlessly alter your dna - ya just stay the heck inside for a few hours (and hope your car doesn't float away).
