It flattened our house... while we were inside. Luckily the room we hunkered up in stayed upright enough not to kill us. Most of the house was scattered around the neighborhood. Appreciate you trying to help, south Florida was a warzone. No power or water for more than a month... not to mention no shelter and endless cleanup. I was only 4 at the time, so my memory is fuzzy, but I'll never forget the sound of that night and the visuals the next day.
Radiation oncology can be rough. Some of our patients are in really bad shape. But we can help a lot of people and that knowledge keeps us going.
My reasons for getting out of the south are similar. I do miss thunderstorms and easy gardening, but I don't miss gorilla hail and tornados along with oppressive heat. When I was in college I had to take a change of clothes with me when I walked to class in summer.
Not to be too pedantic, but YVR had their snow on the overrunning (butt) end with the storm in January.
Olympic Peninsula had their upslope score on the other end of it with the arctic front as they typically do.
So totally separate events.
