In the classic earthquakes vs. hurricanes debate the clincher for me is not that you can prepare for (or flee from) hurricanes, but that they have a season. Those of us who reside in the subtropics (and tropics) get a breather, while people in California live with the idea that at any minute, of any month, their houses can crush them.
And with exquisite timing, hurricane season winds down just as stone crab season begins. The taste of the sweet sea meat is enhanced by the returned feeling of tranquility.
