@audienceofone:

I *absolutely* agree about being prepared for each and every season. Every year we make sure we have everything packed in a big chest. It goes back to my military days and having a deployment bag. Something you can grab and know that everything you need is in it. My problem wasn't with preparedness, rather it was with spinning up every storm as if it would become something it won't. The problem I see with that, IMHO, is that if newer members come on here and stress out at (some) of the alarmist reactions to low-risk storms, they'll eventually get numbed. I think there's huge value in giving the *appropriate* amount of attention and respect to each storm, and I believe that there's an enormous downside to treating every storm as a cat 5. I'm obviously exaggerating a bit, but you get my point.

Anyway, it sounds like we're on the same page. I'm just happy to get some much needed rain.

Cheers!
