I remember missing school for a whole month in 2004. P

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

They decided to make up the days by adding 7 minutes to the school day, instead of adding a month to the school year.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

7 minutes? Who were they kidding?

They added a few days as well, but even as a 7th grader it felt like a joke.

Question: why don't people in these hurricane prone areas build brick houses?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

As a matter of fact, FL building code change about 20 years ago to require concrete reinforced block for ground floor of all new homes

Blizzards don't rip your house apart at 150mph. They just dump a load of snow that you move away the next day and go on with life.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Except they do tear up homes.. as does tornadoes

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 4

I have never seen a blizzard tear up a home. Yes, there is the random roof collapse in the winter, but that is usually from bad construction

Blizzards don't blow my house away

But why move? Everyone has something that sucks about their town and it's a good trade off for beautiful weather 98% of the time

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 3

With that humidity I'd argue Florida has never seen decent weather.

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 2

Exactly, what's the point of nice weather if people spend most of their time inside in the AC?

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Been 13 years since the last one. It's really quite peaceful weather wise. And you get used to the hurricanes.

Hurricanes are more predictable and allow more time for prep than tornadoes, earthquakes, mudslides, blizzards, aliens, and swarms of locust

The places with earthquakes have MUCH more resilient buildings. Can't say the same for hurricane areas... Every year the news shows -/

the destruction of hurricanes, yet when was the last time you heard the news reporting about earthquake damage? Basically never.

On one hand you have winds that rip your life apart. On the other you have a slight chill for half the year. What?

Slight chill is a bit of an understatement. Better than hurricanes but frigid cold does suck.
