Here Comes Sandy

Wouldn't it suck to have to sit there knowing a big hurricane is coming right at you and all you can do is wait? Which is worse: storms, that come with warning, or earthquakes, without them? I'm not sure which I'd choose if I had the choice. Problem is, we can't choose and there's nothing saying some freak storm won't come out of the Pacific and attack us some day. We might well end up with both!
