A challenge is one thing, but that's really scary! I would run like hell the minute anyone said a hurricane was coming. I'll stick with earthquakes, thanks.

I saw that! OTOH, does anyone really consider reporters to be honest people? No. Knowledgeable? No. Caring? No. It's anything for a story, and if they have to make something up, well...... they will.

Compared to what the rest of the country has been experiencing, New England seems like mellow year round weather, outside of a few Nor'easters, and they don't bring near the damage these hurricanes do, just a few days of inconvenience for most of us.
Makes me thing we're due for something big, maybe that fault line we're sitting on will finally act up?

You confuse reporters with entertainers.
