hurricane: Natural Disasters - Emergency Preparedness
- 09/04/08 09:05 AM
NATURAL DISASTERS Every now and then nature reminds us that we are small and cannot control everything about our planet. We used to live in San Francisco, CA, where everyone is very aware of earthquake and forest fires. Although here in Charleston we are also located on top of a fault line, no one seems to worry about earthquakes, maybe because the last major quake happened in 1886 (although in 1995 there was a minor one). Here, hurricanes are THE big deal. Every year, from May to November, the "Hurricane Season Soap" keeps us glued to the TV set and frazzled! (2 comments)
