It does get tedious. I thought I'd put some useful information from the noaa.gov website here:

"Each year, the United States averages some 10,000 thunderstorms, 5,000 floods, 1,300 tornadoes and 2 Atlantic hurricanes, as well as widespread droughts and wildfires. Weather, water and climate events, cause an average of approximately 650 deaths and $15 billion in damage per year and are responsible for some 90 percent of all presidentially-declared disasters. About one-third of the U.S. economy – some $3 trillion – is sensitive to weather and climate. National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas, for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy."

Hurricane Irma is going to be devestating. No way around it and this information is not meant to downplay Irma's magnitude whatsoever. [/quote]

Harvey is already going to cost significantly more than $15 billion.  And between this and Sandy and other recent events, those average numbers from NOAA are getting thrown out of whack.[/quote]
Hope people start evacuating.[/quote]
