I’ll probably regret writing this if a tree falls on my house, or worse, but I have to say that I rather enjoy hurricanes. Always have. The surf gets dangerous, the seas get high and the wind takes over. At that point, we are all equal.
In fact, unlike tornadoes, there almost seems to be an inverse relationship between material worth and hurricane damage susceptibility – what with the haves generally living closer to the coast, near bigger trees and just generally having more sheer square-footage to worry about. Are hurricanes a progressive natural disaster? The Ninth Ward of New Orleans would certainly beg to differ, but I wonder if here in Rhode Island they disproportionately affect the affluent??
Assuming we all survive Sandy, the worst of it will be some property damage and, maybe, a few days without creature comforts. Rather than bitching about National Grid, enjoy the break! Read a book, tune your guitar, knit a hat, talk to your family … if you’re lucky maybe you can fit it all in…
