[quote name='Just Jim']Don't underestimate them, I've been thru several hurricanes, and they can get really wild. Lucky for us Florida is mostly flat, so they usually pass quickly, only a day or two.... usually.... and we don't get the mudslides. But if one stalls it's a whole different ballgame. There's no-where for the water to go, and then people get flooded out fast.
But I've also seen what your typhoons can do... and some do look much worse. The Pacific is much bigger for a storm to form and build up than the Atlantic. I'll pass on seeing one up close, thanks.[/QUOTE]Trust me, after Sandy, which everyone here thought wouldn't do crap, I never underestimate a hurricane.
