West Coast Morons

Now only to be PC here I would have to say something about west coast people.

Being in the hurricane was interesting. You could tell that my roomate and myself had neither been through one before or we were drunk. It was a combination of the 2. When the high winds hit we just walked outside in the middle of the rain and winds and started daring each other to do things. Taking soap outside and taking a shower in the rain and wind. Playing horseshoes at the beginning of the storm. Breaking the security tape so we could get into the resorts pools and hot tubs. All of this while dogging debrit and security. Then this city of Orlando had a curfew that lastest over 12 hours. Talk about cabin fever. But we made the best of it. One of our teamates showed up and the 3 of drank about 60 beers during the hurricane.
Locals were stocking up on water and necessities and we stocked up on alcohol, top ramen, and canned goods. Course with the canned goods we forgot that you couldn't cook them if the electricity went off. Mionor detail. Over looked though due to the left over pizza and beer we had. Great times and memories of Hurrcane Jeanne.

East Coast Morons

Ok so this last weekend I was in Florida for the USSSA C Division Worlds and there just happend to be a hurricane that goes through the state. The people there were way off their rockers. I had a couple of conversaions with some of the locals there and they just blew me away. They would usually start out the same way just normal chit chat about the hurricane and what they were doing to get prepared. Then I would make a comment saying that I was glad that I lived in California and only had to deal with an earthquake once out of 10 years. And these people would flip out. They would no way could they go through an earthquake and how they scared them. Let me see 4 hurricanes in the last month 0 earthquakes and they are scared of earthquakes.
Funny thing is I used to live in Fl for a few years and never went through a hurricane. then I show up for the biggest softball tourney of the year and there is a hurricane.
