How would you feel if your school was flooded; if it caught on fire; if it was hit by a tornado? If any of the above happened to my beloved university, I’d be upset. However, my middle school endured all of the above. Was I upset then? Not in the least.
Every battle of school building versus nature/idiot- inspired- disaster equaled, at least, a few hours of freedom from school for me and as the building was never destroyed… I was happy.
On a slightly related note, I like storms. I’m not fond of tornados or hurricanes but, a strong thunderstorm (every once in awhile) is a lovely thing. The rain falls in torrents; the wind bends the trees; the power goes out. It’s a good bit of adventure. In residential areas, a few hours without electricity won’t hurt anyone. It’ll only inspire creativity and residents will get traditional with their sources of entertainment. Forget the television and break out a board game. Read a book. Write a letter by candlelight? Perhaps not the last one.
Storms are one of the good things about the southern region of the USA. The Northeast misses out.
Site-related: I’m still working on this design. I intend to change parts of it so… beware. :D
