Thursday Thirteen: edition 21 - 13 things hurricanes do to make life miserable

Thirteen Things hurricanes do to make life miserable 1.... Tears down your house and/or employer! (so maybe no job!) 2.... Threatens your life 3.... Floods your neighborhood 4.... Brings tornadoes 5.... Rips up all the trees in your yard and maybe on your entire street 6.... Moves your roof to the street in front of your house 7.... Leaves you in the dark - for weeks or months 8.... Makes you wait in lots of LONG lines - for gas, food, and ice 9.... Makes you hot and sticky and stinky 10... Brings you closer to your neighbors (maybe the only plus - because you're all outside without TV or computers and because it's too hot to stay inside) 11... Closes the local parks for months or a year or more (the parks are last priority to clean up) 12... Brings out lots of mosquitoes (because of all the standing water). Sometimes snakes, too. 13... Perhaps floods your house * puts you out of touch with the rest of the world for awhile
