Alright then... To continue... lol
The hurricanes aren't so bad, really... We dodge bullets with them for the most part... Hurricane season lasts from June first to the end of November, so we're almost done with it this year with no major storms to report *knock on wood*... Actually going below ground in a hurricane would be a bad idea, due to the amount of water they put down, not to mention that here in Florida because of us being pretty much at sea level and there not being a whole lot of ground between us and water it would be very rare to find a house with anything resembling a basement... What they do in the case of people whose houses wouldn't be safe for the storms they open up schools and other safe buildings as shelters from the storms...
The storms are pretty much cells of low atmospheric pressure that gain good circulation, they are stronger when they have good, warm tropical conditions to strengthen... It is not typical to see storms before or after season for that reason, but there have been storms that occur earlier than June or after November (they are exceedingly rare due to conditions not being ideal for their formation and development.)... Pretty much the warmer it is, the better chance that a storm will form (water temp, anyway) as long as there is low pressure that can circulate, and no high pressure fronts or even opposing low pressure fronts tear away at it...
I think so long as the immigrants take the initiative to learn english they can take jobs from locals... A lot of jobs that are posted in classifieds and whatnot want bilingual people, so long as those languages are english and spanish... So there goes my french and german knowledge not needed (and so much forgotten due to that fact) and i'm teaching myself Japanese why? lol...
