Hurricanes

Here in the midwest we don't have to worry about hurricanes.  Our main source of natural disasters come from tornadoes.  They are both destructive and pack winds of more than 100 miles per hour.  The difference is that tornadoes come suddenly and without much warning, whereas hurricanes you know are coming towards you for days in advance.  There is really no time to prepare for a tornado other than going to a safe room in your house until the threat passes you by.  They are both potentially devastating to the areas that they hit and the clean up and recovery could take months or years depending on the strength and power that the storm brought on.  Our prayers are with the people in the path of Hurricane Irma right now as she descends on Florida.
