Flight into the eye of Ian...
I would love to be on that flight.

Leeeeeroooyyyyy Jennnnnnkkkinnnnnsss
Not me. We hit some turbulence in Denver that freaked me out. Also flew into the wash of another jet on our way back from South Carolina that did the same. I like the ground. Ground is good.I would love to be on that flight.
It certainly happens, but most people chiming in here had it occur during the derecho which was a pretty unusual event. In my experience losing power for days due to a blizzard or severe thunderstorm isn't all that frequent or widespread, at least for people in the cities.
When I was about 4-5th grade, i remember being without power for about 7-9 days. No school for about 3 days since the roads were filled in. Only heat we had was a gas stoves and a room heater that we had to be careful so we didn't gas ourselves to death. Saying having no heat for a week in winter is an inconvenience is something I don't understand. In first grade, I had to go to school on a freaking Saturday since so much school was cancelled, several runs of no power for 2-3 days and huddling together for heat to stay warm.You are lucky I have been in multiple days outages, even some a week plus. The worst ones in St Lou, but it has happened in Ames.
Punta Gorda getting absolutely annihilated by the back side of the eye wall.
Saying worst storm this weather reporter has ever seen
He’s something, isn’t he?Mike Seidel......the Morton Downey Jr. of weather.
If you have any brains at all, you can make cold go away in your house, especially modern houses. It’s one reason I have 2 fireplaces in my house. You can’t make water go away. And the aftermath of a flooded house I wouldn’t wish n my worst enemy, it’s a nightmare that never seems to go away unless you can bulldoze and start from scratch.When I was about 4-5th grade, i remember being without power for about 7-9 days.

So my parents had no brains since they didn't have a fireplace. Cool to find out.If you have any brains at all, you can make cold go away in your house, especially modern houses.

We are comparing a hurricane to a blizzard. If you have walls and a roof, it’s a lot easier to keep your family safe in that than it is when a storm surge picks your house up off the foundation. I’m not saying your situation wasn’t bad, but at some point you have to admit, having 4 walls and a roof, even in the cold is better than having nothing at all.So my parents had no brains since they didn't have a fireplace.

You are comparing, I'm not. I said a blizzard is more than an inconvenience. Never said anything about a hurricane.We are comparing a hurricane to a blizzard.

And yes, when you look at all scenarios, in the Midwest and other cold winter places, a fireplace is a must.
Well, thanks for bringing a blizzard into a hurricane thread then.You are comparing, I'm not. I said a blizzard is more than an inconvenience. Never said anything about a hurricane.
